EBC brake pads

Short season where I live. I only did 4 or 5 events.

I just recently did a brake pad replacement and used ebc red's, and holy *bleep* does this sound like a freight train if you don't GENTLY come to a stop. It's only been a couple days and less than 50 miles of driving since I bedded the new rotors and changed the pads, think I'll give it a week or two before I make hasty decisions.

Did you use the paste on the back of the pads? Are you using the anti sqeal shims? If yes to these, you might try filing the leading edge of the pad although if memory serves, I beleive they are alteady bevelled?
I found reds to be quiet and very clean although they are not made for tracking, no matter what EBC might say. Major judder problem when they get hot! But, for the street, they are just fine.

Been following this thread with interest, so what is a good upgrade for a 00 S? Spirited street driving IE. between a sometimes track and street maybe? LOL

Excellent brakes already, but I am adding the GT3 duct and stainless break lines when its due a service, so what would be pad choice?

Been a very interesting thread.

Ferrodo DS2500 fine for up and down Alps and Pyrenees. Decent value for money at £125. No wear sensor slots though so you will need to short the sensor wires.

Thanks guys for the info, Sounds like a good plan. Here gets hot plus 40c. So doesnt take much breaking to start heating the brakes. So looking for that fine line.
