Keep seeing these advertised, with EBC Disks

Anyone got any experience of them, I now need some new discs, and pads (current pads are ok, but v cheap OE ones, as a stop gap)

Are Ceramic worth it for normal road use, what about wear, heat required to stop etc

Still cant make my mind up on which discs to get, wether OE alternatives from SAP (like my rear discs, which are still yet to be fitted) or to go for a bigger disc

IMHO good pads are always worth buying, even if you're only using them on road. Never tried the ceramic reds, but I think the general consensus is that they perform well.

As for disks, I'd stick with cheapies, especially if it's primarily for road use.

 

I am running EBC drilled/grooved disks and EBC ceramic pads on my STI 5 Type "R".
Must say the combination works very well. Ceramic pads are much cleaner so keep the alloys looking far better.
I have noticed that the drilled/grooved and ceramic combination is a little noisey when being pushed very hard but the certainly work well with no fade under heavy use.

Hope this helps

I'm running EBC Red Ceramics, they are fine.

Had standard EBC Reds before and they were a load of ****.

Red.

Note . Don't fit EBC greens.

 

The old reds were shyte too - mine lasted 300 road miles through France and Germany, then 2 laps of the Nurburgring on the old car, then they were credit card thickness

 

John Felstead tested the new EBC pads and was impressed with the EBC ceramic reds. There's a long post on here if you do a search.
