i had new greenstuff EBC pads and EBC dimpled/slotted rotors professionally installed last october....the front pads were completely worn down yesterday!

granted, i went to 3 road course events and 1 autox, but still, wouldn't you expect more than just THAT, and 13k road miles?

i had performance friction c. metalics before...think i'll be going back to them......

or am i missing something? do EBC's just normally wear out that fast?

 

ttt

come on everyone......there's been tons of discussions over the past 6 months on EBC, isn't anyone interested in the pad life of the EBC's?

 

13K miles
3 excursions to a raod course
and an AX event

What did you expect?

See all that dust on your wheels? That is brake pad.

A good performing brake pad is gonna bite hard, stop good, take the heat generated and wear out fast. It's the nature of physics.

Going to a regular street pad will degrade performance, not bite near as hard, take longer to stop the car, glaze because of the heat generated, but last a lot longer.

I guess you need to decide what your needs really are.

Most folks, who do what you do, have a set of street pads and rotors and a set of race day pads and rotors. Swapping becomes part of the routine prep for the track and then the street.

 

whoa......we'll excuse me...

 

Not sure why you responded that way.
If you don't want a straight answer ... :blah:

 

Take a look at Raybestos ceramic pads. (CarQuest ceramic pads are made by Raybestos, too)

They ran me $150 for a 4-wheel set and have a lifetime warranty. When they wear out, I get new ones for free.
