Just got back from having the cars first M.O.T (which it sailed through) only to be told by MrT that "brake discs are 40% corroded on the inner face and 20% on outer, you will need some new discs and pads very soon".

Not from you at your prices, heh heh.

Quote from: "proeliator2001"I've paid more than that for a set of front pads   s:shock: :shock: s:shock:    Very good price.  I just wish EBC would release some Redstuff for the '2 instead of just their green variety.

Does the new Redstuff compound actually work when cold? If not then I'm not sure you'd get them hot enough on our car unless you were on track..

*remembers scary moment with cold greenstuff pads*  s:oops: :oops: s:oops:

I used to be a fan of EBC pads, but these days I think there are much better options - things like Porterfield RS4's, for a start.

I had Redstuff Ceramic V3's on the CTR and they were fecking fantastic.  No fade problems and huge levels of retardation considering all I did was replace the pads.  They worked okay when cold, probably a little below stock, but a couple of junctions would get them up to stock levels and then it was only upwards and onwards from there.

On a couple of very cold days I did left foot brake for a couple hundred yards to get them warmed up, not good for glazing but it was all good.

The CTR was heavy on front pads, changed mine after 11k miles and I didn't drive -that- fast.  So they used to create a lot of dust - the Redstuffs were significantly better for brake dust, though not as good as the '2 which seems VERY light on pads.  I couldn't recommend Redstuff's enough and I also never got any noise from the either which is a plus with that sort of pad.
