One of the pad material totally fell apart from the backing plate and then caused the damage to the discs. The discs might have been ok if not used with ebc pads.
He sent those pictures to ebc and asked for a full refund but without purchasing another set of their brakes (he has bought AP's) and i think they argeed and refunded him. I guess they didnt want him making a fuss about poor quality brakes that could have caused an accident
I wouldnt use ebc brakes to stop my lawn mower let alone my car, i had 2 sets that became hardened on my RS Turbo years ago and both times it was because i was using ebc pads on ebc discs. I changed to mintex pads on ebc discs and the problem didnt reoccure on the 3rd set.
