Hi guys. Looking for any information about EBC brakes. Anyone had any experience with this brand ??
I thinking about discs:
Turbo Groove Performance
and pads:
Yellowstuff Performance

Any information will be very helpful .
Cheers.

From experience I'd leave them alone.

Admittedly Greenstuff pads that were fitted to my brothers first Lude when he bought it. Truly scary.

Terrible fade. How a company could supposedly consider them an upgrade il never know....

They were removed quick sharp

Yep, stay away from green stuff pads. They disintegrated on me without any track use (normal road driving). The friction material actually crumbled away in my hands

I have turbo groove discs on my Xantia. No problems with them at all

My mate used ebc pads on his 911. One of the colours squealed like a bitch, while the others were ok

can't remember which colour it was... I'll ask and get back to you.

Cheers guys.
Any more opinion about this brand ?
Witch brand is mostly liked by you? ( like to have drilled discs)
Cheers.

I run standard oem blank discs and ebc redstuff all around. For daily driving and fast roads they are fantastic and minimal brake dust.
For seriously heavy breaking multiple times close together they start to fade so I wouldn't recommend them for a track car.

I've run yellowstuff pads on the tracks since day 1, been fine if you know how they perform. On the track, if you stay out for long enough they go as follows;
1-2 laps = OK
3-6 laps = bum droppings
7+ laps = brilliant.
So basically the they need to be lava hot to work well.

Overall I wouldn't rate them that highly, will upgrade to ds2500's for trackdays once the new engine is in.

Just heard back from my mate.
His 911 had green stuff on them when he bought it. They were the ones that squealed like a bitch on the road, he got rid of them quickly. Consensus in the the porka owners club is that they only rate the EBC (colours) for track use, not road.

Also just remembered that I have EBC Ultimax on my UKDM and they are good.
