Bobbeh Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 How did you find the EBC pads? I thought they were supposed to be crap based on comments on here. I've got a complete set of HAWK/Brembo pads from MVP for under £100. I'll let you know how I get on with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll let you know how I get on with them They were caperble and certainly stopped the car, but they lack feel, never faded but can glaze. I did a 155-0 emergancy stop in 200 yards on concrete with no drama if that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazboy Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 Regarding MVP, can you phone them up and order with a debit card, or is it credit card only? (I don't do e-commerce). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JODY T Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I have a set of the Brembo/Hawk UK pads on mine.... Everything is new.. I have to say they are great.... my jspecs were good, but faded after a while.... The pads dont fade but they do smell a little if you park up quickly after a spirited drive They are VERY good pads though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Hmm, I have stinking brakes to look forward to! Gaz, how much did those pads set you back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 Hmm, I have stinking brakes to look forward to! Gaz, how much did those pads set you back? I used to have Pagid pads that stank after a thrash! £160- more than MVP offered but I prefer to pay more, in person than via paypal and get something cheaper.

Gazboy Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 I've only done 30 miles on the Endless, so still bedding in, but I can tell you they beat the shit out of the redstuff - but I'll be impressed if they wear half as well as the redstuff. Initial bite is much stronger and more reasuring, and needing less pressure too. More info inc track abilities next weekend... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
