brake pads

[aj]

.

today i had fitted new rear brake pads..

first time for me i had the EBC new formula alloy double H pads installed...

went out for a blast to bed them in and can honestly say they do what it says on the packet...
the difference is notable ...quicker/better stopping power and no noticeable fade.

worth checking out when you need to change yours.

Just fitted some myself, got them from Jaws (great service as usual) just waiting for a chance to bed them in

Just remember that the initial bite in the wet is shite so brake a little early..

stops scaring you after you get used to it ... not good in wet emergencies

I use standard pads in rear and double H in front just so I have at least 'some' initial bite in the wet

Each to their own, but I switched to SBS pads Dave. Just as good as EBC in the dry (then again, so is just about every other pad in the dry!) and 20 times better in the wet This (I think), is because they have 4 seperate contact pads per plate thereby assisting with water drainage off the disc and perhaps maintaining a higher air flow during use (as per Honda's original design in fact) to prevent fading, rather than 2 contact pads per disc which spend the first few seconds aquaplaning across the disc surface, until enough heat is built up to evaporate the water on the disc. The SBS don't last as long, but they're cheaper and far less hard on the discs, so they work out about the same pound for pound anyway.

Tried 5 different pads over the years and EBC are 4th (Armstrong 5th [came free with my waveys], Ferodo 3rd, OEM 2nd) purely because I found them crap (dare I say lethal) in the rain. There's nothing like wombling down a nice, narrow, slick Yorks Dales hill in the rain- applying the brakes and -----nothing happening!

I called it the "The EBC enema" to Kay
