EBC are rubbish. Even EBC admitted they had problems and were working on them. Mintex or Ferrodo DS2000 (iirc). Decent pads are a waste though if you've fitted the car with cheap and nasty motorfactor discs

cheers for the replys,ill look into mintex then.just going to fit uprated pads and possibly braided hoses for the moment to get it on the road then in the future will go for a decent setup with RS2K rear discs as well.cheers steve

Wouldn't worry about the RS2k discs unless you want the cosmetioc value. The drums really are up to the job even if they are a bit old skool

Wrong
Both myself and Ollie (NMS S1) use cheap motorfactor discs with good pads and had no problems,Even when being pushed hard on track.
