Hi all, got my car tuned up after a month of breaking in the engine. took it for a squirt and after two hard brakings they stoped working . when they cooled they were all right.

Is it worth spend $160 on EBS pads or should i get better disks? I think i have 180b disks brakes, should these have good brake capabilties for hill climbs and sprints?

thanks

You shouldnt have a problem with 180b brakes if they are in good condition. What sort of pads are in there now and how worn? How fresh is your brake fluid?

Hey Jeff, your finaly on the Forums! Its Chris from Nannatee Way.

I would say the EBC's would be a good investment if you are gonna get stuck into hill climbs etc.

I just have ####ty RDA's in the thou and have never gotten brake fade yet

Dont replace pads and discs at the same time, do the pads and then a month down the track the discs.
