Brembo or EBC Discs & Pads?

[seatcupra]

I'll be needing some rear discs and pads in the near future. I was always under the impression that Brembo were expensive parts but the discs (£25) are cheaper than standard EBC discs (£35) and Brembo pads are only around £15.

Anyone using Brembo discs/pads on the rear? Or should I go for EBC discs?

I normally go with the attitude of you get what you pay for but Ive always thought of Brembo being good...

Opinions?

Rear discs are the 232mm so theres no confusion.

Just go for the cheaper set mate. The rears make very little difference anyways.

Brembo discs and Ferodo premier pads, EBC discs are very poor and warp for fun.

EBC plains and DS2500's are a good combo... Brembo disks are'nt twice the disk for twice the price.

I wont touch ebc pads.. but the LCR disk and decent pad like ds2500's does work well. (on dozens of cars I have supplied/fitted them to)

Iv got Brembo max discs and ferodo pads on the front and will be putting the same on the back shortly.

The Brembo discs are cheaper than the EBC discs. Just standard rear discs, not grooved that I'm looking at.

I have EBC discs from CRN on the front, won't be going down the grooved route again, too noisey and I don't think they perform any better IMO.

I am highly suspicious of any genuine Brembo item being £15 when you consider genuine front Brembo pads for the LCR are £130+ from a main dealer. Incidentally the genuine Brembo front pads are excellent in my opinion.

thats due to their crude groove design... and why I only do eliptical... quieter

Even from the Brembo website....? Remember I'm talking about rears for the LC not the LCR

I only tried them as folk on here were saying they were good at the time
