318ti Portugal,
I think it was you who had installed EBC rotors and pads recently. Are you running the latest version of Red Stuff Ceramic pads? I'm thinking of carrying the line at the shop and any feedback would be apreciated.
Cheers, __________________

Yes, it is me. You can see pics on my gallery. They are the latest pads. My feedback is this: I've upgraded my front ti setup to M3 setup. When I installed the M3 setup, it came with the EBC pads, so I didn't drive with stock pads for comparison purposes. The car brakes like hell! When the pads are cold, the braking is not impressive at all, but once they warm up, it stops like hitting a brick wall. Resistence to fade is also quite impressive. I ran 10 laps on a track day, and the brakes never faded... Any more questions, feel free to shoot. regards! __________________ Portuguese 318ti

Did you experience any judder (vibration)? How many kms have you driven with them? Wear?
Also, Most of my clients are concerned with dust; how is it compared to stock?

I pick up the vaders today! What a beautifull pair of seats! Will have them installed on monday. As for the brakes, there is no vibration. I've driven some 3000 km since I installed them. Cannot tell anything on wear so soon. As for brake dust, can't really tell, I wash my car once a week and always use poorboys wheel selant on the rimms. They are always brake dust free... regards! __________________ Portuguese 318ti
