rpadam Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 My break disks on my S3 need changing. I’m currently using EBC red stuff pads on standard disks and I’m thinking of getting EBC turbo grooved disks. Just wondering what other S3 drivers are using and weather i should stick to original disks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallachie Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 I'm on the standard set up, I don't do track days so I've never needed the extra stopping power of upgraded brakes. I've just bought new Ferodo discs & pads for the front, cost me £73 all in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few members on here who've had the big red upgrade done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s3ollie Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 ive got the ebc disc's and redstuff pads. Stops ok but make quite a noise when braking and even when not braking. Mine are either warped or you can feel the grooves passing the pads as heavy braking from over 80 or more gets a bit of wobble on the steering wheel. I’ve read posts that say they warp easy coz of the grooves, ive also read posts that say you can feel the grooves passing the disc. Personally I think they warp easy because the grooves hit the pads in a progressive manor i.e. curved round the disc and not in straight line from the centre outwards. In any case I was thinking of prob changing back to the standard disc's and just keeping the redstuff pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpadam Posted July 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 I think i'll stick with the standard disks with red stuff pads, can't afford the big breaks yet. Cheers guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
