After fitting EBC discs and pads to the front the caliper is *VERY* close to the disc. The original pads have shims which seems to push the pad nearer the disc and further away from the top of the caliper. After 200 miles the pads are still noisy and squeal sometimes.

Anyone else fitted these?

 

Yeah, last easter!!!

The squealing will disappear, if not take the pads out and put copper slip around all the edges of the pads!

 

Cheers pal! Does your front caliper sit really close to the disc mate? It's a fanny's hair off on mine! Scary!

 

How long do the pads take to break in? It's taken over a week and my pads are still making a psssssssssss noise all the time..

 

Sometimes upto a 1000 miles!!

 

Hi there! I am looking for a good quality EBC Brakes for my car, because I think mine is already damaged and old. I really do not know where to go to purchase these stuffs, and since you guys already replaced yours recently, I am hoping you can give me suggestions on where could I purchase quality and affordable EBC Brakes.

Do you have any suggestions where I can purchase these things?

Thanks a lot!

I got mine from GGR mate, next day delivery and they were very helpful!

 

Thanks for those informations! I'll try those websites that you gave me..

 

mine was squeeling like mad until after my track day when they had had some serious abuse for over 2 hours of track time

 

Mine's quit the squealing now but the 'tith tith tith' noise is still coming from the brakes all the time, as if the discs are slightly warped I rang GGR and they've told me to wait another thousand miles.

 

i had this when i fitted grooved disks to my escort RST

i think its the groves passing the pads

tho i could be wrong

 

I have had it for over a year now, its the pad passing the grooves on the EBC's!

 

Cheers lads Is that noise there all the time though? Even when the car isn't braking? What a wank noise!!!!

 

Yes!

Welcome to the world of grooved discs!

 

Balls!!! Just sounds like my discs are warped! Never had grooved discs before on any car, just as well it's already doing my head in!! lol
