Installshield 2 - so far we've heard nothing about complaints that local customers have had about EBC pads. They aren't cheap either.
There's lots of better pads out there available, and for cheaper too.
Those who've complained about warped rotors really did have them warped. Not C deposits or anything.
Please explain this...How can a high performance brake pad capable of absorbing almost double the heat of the stock pad in turn warp a rotor? Since the pad absorbs tons of heat, that heat is prevented from being absorbed by the rotor itself...The only argument I have ever heard about pads such as EBC is that they score the rotor surface becuase of their high friction content, and lead to not performing as well after a couple of hard races...This is also untrue on a light weight cars like ours. I used these on an E-46 M3 (400lbs heavier than a P5, with much more powerful brakes) for a number of pad changes, and they did tear up the rotor a little after 60,000 miles...but I don't know how bad the stock ones would have, so it may have been just normal rotor wear...
A brake pad that keeps heat from the rotor will not warp it. Again if the customer complained that the rotor was warped ,it was caused by something else, not the EBC's. I have never once experienced a warped rotor caused by using EBC Greens or even REDs...The cars ranged from an M3, Probe GT, Neon ACR, and a P5...each car had EBC's without one single problem other than pad life being a little short on some applications (M3)...No damaged warped, or adversely effected rotors in anyway...A lot of people I know have used them as well without a single problem...
I do not own stock in EBC, I am not trying to sell anything...I am just trying to point out that the people you talked to had rotor problems not caused by the pads....something else happened and the pads recieved the blame...I have used Hawk pads (I think HPS's, whatever the street ones are) and they are good for the money, but comparing to the EBC greens is like the difference between our stock Dunlop's and a new set of Bridgestone S-03's...
