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

Available from www.performancebrakes.co.uk

Discs are £78 each and pads are £34 (pr) + VAT

Avoid dealing with Sejoc as they are nothing but trouble.

For all of you on the wrong side of the pond, they are also make in left-hand-drive versions from www.tirerack.com/brakes/ebc/greenpads
Are pads different for LHD and RHD???
