EBC discs and DS2500 pads

[Colonelk]

Well they were fitted today and look awesome !

Passed its first MOT too today yeah !!

I'll report back on the performance of this combo over time for the interested. For the uninterested, what the hell are you doing in this thread ??

So thats new GSD3's, new pads and discs in the last week. It better stop costing me money now coz I'm spent up !!

 

[RobM]

How much did that combo cost you, if you don't mind me asking?

Reason I ask, if I had standard discs with DS pads fitted a while ago, so I'd be interested to hear how they last, how easily they warp or deform and how they perform, so we can compare the difference (if any) Vs cost

Oh... and I also had this done after having GSD3's fitted the week before.... so... SNAP

 

[RikH]

exactly the set-up ive got to go on, so looking forward to seeing how you rate them
ive also got goodridge lines and some nice new rbf600 fluid to go in too

 

[the_prophet]

same setup i been running for last 4k.

superb. massive improvement in performance over standard and they just get better when there warmer aswell. well worth it.

I got them from Bill at Badger5. Including VAT and delivery it was £332.53 for the two front discs and the pads.

 

[Colonelk]

Tell you what, even when they aren't bedded in they are still providing decent enough stopping power (as some idiot near Blackwall tunnel made me find out!)

Can't wait till they are bedded in. Then I'm off for a spirited drive

 

[Andi]

Extreamly interested in this set up. Ill be changing to them after my original brembos have had a beating round the ring.

 

[jamie paton]

might be interested as well especially at that price, and i'll save myself a fortune by fitting them myself, theres a guide on here about it apparently its not that difficult.

 

[the_prophet]

hardest part was getting the retaining screws out the hubs which hold the disc in place.

 

[CupraMVR]

Ive had this set up aswell its perfect at any time i dont think they need warmin up 2 work and stopped like anythink i think only make it better wud be a fluid change which i didnt do i got mine from motorsportworld.co.uk at £242.26 2 disc's and front pads delivered took 2 days 2 get on my front door and were fitted in an hour.took little time 2 bed in and worked a treat really like them.

 

[the_prophet]

they don't need warming up at all, thats not what i meant if you were reffering to me, they work better than originals from cold.

i just found they get even better once thye have warmed up.

 

[richybigman]

Did you get grooved or drilled discs? Or plain replacement ones?

 

[jamie paton]

i think that they're grooved ones, all the photo's i've seen of em they have grooves on anyway, drilled ones are a no no anyway as they apparently crack through time, well thats the main concensus anyway, straight from the mouth of the badger himself.

 

[richybigman]

Aren't they now dimpled as opposed to being drilled?

 

[CupraMVR]

EBC Turbo Groove Discs front only didnt think the rears need it

 

[the_prophet]

i'm running ebc turbo grooved and yes they have dimples in them, 3 grooves and a fair few dimples.

 

[jonjay]

i was going to go for this combination aswell however these ATE Powerdisc are superb and cheaper too! I also read that EBC discs have some issues with them?

 

[the_prophet]

didn't think you could get the ate discs anymore for the LCR? i thought they stopped making them. Could only find the ATE standard discs and think they may have been the wrong size.

jst noticed you drive an FR so you still may be able to get hold of them in that size.

 

[RikH]

mine are same as prophets, grooved and dimpled. with mine being the lc though the discs are 312s

You can still get powerdiscs, eurocarparts are their main distributor.
