Default ebc green stuff .

i heard some good things about these and some bad things about these, so like a tard hole i order them anyway. you know the say all this better braking times, low dust etc. The instructions say if you use them in the back make sure you use them in the front so i am thinking these craps are going to stop dumb fast. To make along story short i got the placed on the rears with new brembos and i am not at all impressed, i am not sure if they need to broke in alot, i have done a total of 30 miles on the pads and rotors. i guess let me know whats up

um, the front brakes are used more than the rears, so changing out your fronts will make the most difference (correct me if i'm wrong)

How did they crack rotors, you mean from stopping too good? I heard they freeze up also. What do you guys think I should get then?

I bought the EBC as I overheated my stock pads a few times and didn't enjoy the experience...
They're branded as being reasonably high performance pads for stock rotors...
So i regrinded my disks, bled and refilled the brake fluid... sure they stopped good for about a month...

Sure... I never had a problem with overheating again as the pads had a high temperature threshold, but they killed the rotors... hairline cracks all over them... the pedal used to pulsate under braking... nasty...
