Ekona Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Because they're cheaper, usually. The PF stuff is absolutely top notch, and you do pay the premium but nothing I've ever used has come close. They worked exceptionally well on my Roadster, which has the extra weight over and above the coupe, on every track I pushed hard on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetpilot Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Ebc dont tend to work well on heavy cars, dont ask me why. I have just switched from years of ds2500 which i thought were a great pad to Carbon Lorraine Rc5+ pads and they are another level, bite is impressive and zero fade even on heavy track use. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snjur Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 You are putting me now in doubt huh Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I'd also consider the RC5+ as well, another great compound. Also, if you're going this far, then I'd recommend getting the Endless brake fluid as well. Pricey, but it's the same stuff used in very top level motorsport (Honda used to use it before they were Brawn, and possibly during Brawn as well I suspect) and is pretty much the ultimate stuff out there.

What discs do you use with CL's as they don't make their own discs are far as I'm aware? Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will contact you prior sourcing and ordering stuff. Since winter is coming i won't be upgrading b4 spring. I know this combo will be pricey as well but again a lot cheeper than BBK Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom I didnt use them on the 350, but i know Docwra swears by them, i would be happy using any decent aftermarket disc with them however.

planetsurfer2 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I've been using Performce Friction Discs and Carbon Lorraine Rc6 pads on my TT Z. Braking is fantastic. I'm just about to try DBA 5000 discs as the PF have finally died after lots of track time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Would it not be significantly cheaper just to replace the PF rotors, given that's a huge benefit of running two-piece discs? Or do you just fancy a change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planetsurfer2 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Fancied trying something different. I'll keep the hats in case I want to go back to PF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F100Jay Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 I've never put much stock in ebc. Pads for performance car i always go either performance friction or carbotec xp8 or 10. They can be dusty and a little sqeally at times. But bite and braking are excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
