Brakes - repost cos it found it's way into Carl's old thread !

New brakes getting fitted today. w00t.



I've gone for a set of EBC's new Red Stuff Ceramic pads (this bloke seems to like them plenty ), and EBC Turbo Groove discs again.



I always used EBC's kit on my 405 (Turbo Groove discs and Greenstuff pads) and I was always plenty happy with them. When I bought the TI, the front discs were shafted. Peeps seemed to like the Black Diamond kit, so I went with those (drilled and grooved) and Redstuff v2 pads. Pads were excellent. Discs were ok at first, but now 18 months on (10,000-ish miles) they're shafted - huge cracks all over the place and warped to hell :)



Hopefully the EBC discs will fair a little better - they're not drilled, just grooved-and-dimpled.



Just out of interest, what else have people tried and liked ? The Mintex 1155s are always popular, but at ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN POUNDS a pair (TI has large pads) they're not an option.

supplied me the EBC kit at the rather cheap price of £150 for both the discs *and* the pads - pretty good going when the discs alone are almost that much everywhere else !



Hope they're good :)



I'll repost my reply then :D Lets just assume Dojj has asked how big they are...
