The new discs and pads are fitted and bedded in.
I am staggered by the difference. Of course there is no shudder, as expected, but the feel is incredible. You could almost disconnect the ABS, there is that much feel.
The braking performance is outstanding too. On a dry road, the front tyres 'twitter' on the ABS and the stopping distance has decreased measurably.
The pads are EBC Greenstuff. The operating temparature range is much wider than the standard pads. The feel from cold is about the same as OEM but lightenens as the brakes warm up. Through a series of downhill straights and sharp slow-speed corners, the old brakes would give up every time, and I have induced a degree of brake fade on all of my previous cars if I try hard enough. As yet, I have not managed to get the slightest bit of fade in these new brakes,despite my best efforts.
FYI the discs are EBCD731 Group N, and the pads are EBCDP6691
