Sorry I totally disagree with that statement about EBC.
I have no issues with the EBC turbogrooves and yellowstuffs that I am running, even on the track.
The yellowstuffs even have good cold bite for winter driving. yeah but how long do they last? I have to admit never used them but everyone I know who has is not happy with them
Other uprated pads such as DS2500's can give you some bottom twitching moments until you get some heat into them. news to me - I've run them with Brembo rotors and the PF/DBA combo - never had and 'bottom twitching moments' - even when driving in -10 last January
I'm not saying they are rubbish though, I've found they are better on the track than the Yellowstuffs but occassionally a little scary on the road. really weird - what lines and fluid were you using?
At the end of the day its how much cash you have to spend and what you are going to use them for.
If you can afford and want something that looks good the more you pay the more bling you get.
If you just want an upgrade over standard for occasional trackdays and road use I would reccommend the turbogrooves and yellowstuffs or turbogrooves and DS2500's.
Whatever route you go make sure you check the runouts during installation and take your time stress relieving them. Failure to do these are the biggest reasons people suffer with brake vibration.
Hope this helps
Steve
