Ceramic Pads
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

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
