EBC Brake pads, Any Good for the GTI?
« on: February 16, 2010, 11:27:40 am »
Just looking into changing my brake pads, Got a price from VW for genuine pads and can get some EBC red stuff for about 10 quid more.
Are they any good?

Mods and driving style are key factors.
An ideal road pad upgrade without any additional noise or loss of feel is the ferodo fast road pad, available from JKM.

I'm running it on my stage2+ ed30 with no problems.
