New Brake Pads for ED30

[scopes]

dude i'm not to sure about ebc brakes discs but the setup i had was good enough, for 2 years later a buddy jumped in and said when you take them brakes off give me first refusal 

He has now sold his car 

Maybe look more towards brembo discs

I know everyone has different experiences, but I had EBC Redstuff pads on my last motor and they had terrible initial bite esp. in the cold, perhaps the compound is different for the Mk5... once warm though, they were better than standard and very low dust iirc.

If I were you, I'd look at some 2nd hand S3/R32/Cupra brakes if your budget is creeping up.

No I agree with you scott, Ebc had terrible initial bite esp, in the cold. But i didnt think much of it.

as i would have assumed all preformance brake pads would suffer the same...

They still stop you when needed stopped!

so the general vibe im getting from you guys is to just get standard discs n pads, and if i was to modify the setup, to go for something bigger and better entirely spending £600+

in addition to my post then, where abouts do u reccomend i purchase OEM pads and discs?

Id  contact your local TPS store or Euro Car Parts.

I can't say a good word about EBC pads. A friend used to be able to get them at trade, so I tried on various cars the different compounds. All very poor in my experience.

The yellowstuff pads I tried on a track car were the worst. Inconsistent pedal feel, ropey stopping power, and lasted less time than Ferrodo Premier OEM spec pads. One set of yellowstuff pads failed to complete a track day when fitted to a Clio 182!
