interesting stuff there tabetha, i was mearly quoting a test done comparing the two manufacturers and as you rightly say the temperature differences do mean its not a valid test for a road car.
other things to consider are the car its self and more importantly its weight and use.
i found y ferrodos to be pretty good on monday at a track day but then i've never tried ebc and i only stay away from them from what others have said. i will however be trying red dot dics and pads next as they are getting very good reviews from friends doing track days with their road cars (focus rs, escort cosworth).
