Unhappy

I'd done gentle running in for 150 miles then blew them away in 75 miles on track, and I'm by no means a heavy driver.

I let it slide at the time as I hadn't had any other experience of performance pads, but have subsequently had no problems with other pads. I'd chase them down, but be careful as it sounds as though you didn't follow the bedding in instructions....

Cool

Ferodo DS2500 is the way to go.

ssubaru, that's good going But not unheard of. But what do you guy expect from a set of cheap pads? Don't buy a fast car and then try to run it like a Fiesta.

Warranty claim? You mean you want them to give you another set ?

Best regards,

Richard.

Sounds about right for EBC, I agree that Ferodo or Mintex are the way to go. I use ll55 Mintex and they last extremely well, even after some very heavy use.

EBC Greens are OK on a small car like a Puma for the road but that's about it for EBC.

Why dont you try the well tested Pagid RS42 pads, cost a bit more but you do get what you pay for, the asme goes for the Ferodo DS2500 pads.
