just finding my feet
depends tbh, a sticky caliper is what i ment,,, they bind but release at times so hiding the problem
happens on the rear of sierras/granadas more tbh

In the end it started to happen to the 3rd set of discs and I knew what was happening so I changed the pads to Mintex 1144's before it damaged the surface f the discs and didnt have a problem after that. I have a spare set of EBC greens in the shed and ALL i use them for is collecting dust in there 
Just a thought, were you using EBC greens on your standard Ford Discs ?
IMO get a set of Mintex 1144's or Ferodo DS2000's pads for you new black diamond discs and you wont have a problem

Red dot
Had them on several cars over the years with 1144 pads and never had a problem,even had the same set on the S1 for over 7yrs and there still fine even after being on track.
The fiesta has them on now,done a 3 track days with the discs,first one using 1155's and they faded a bit and the pads cracked,swapped over to 1166's and they are fantastic on track,just not too kind on the discs

PMSL im not supprised then
BTW i found that using Mintex 1144's HARD on track causes them to crack right down the centre of the pad, is that what you found with your 1155's ?
The 1144's were perfect on the road and excellent for everyday use tho, but i have just changed over to Ferodo DS2500's for road and track use, will find out next weekend how they are round Bedford
