Which pads (i want low dust)

[Miffy]

Andy has had the same adverse experience with these pads. In his polite words, you are wrong. I am inclined to believe him and to reduce dust, a good wax on the wheels will ease cleaning.

difference of opinion, there is no right and wrong. I am not wrong to use EBC or wrong to say I feel they are better than OEM. I have my opinion and its as valid as anyone else s.

Apart from the fact that some police forces use ebc (they cant be that bad?) this is worth a read if you have a spare 5 mins

So best go for hawk pads then instead of EBC

Were not these super all singing EBC pads not the culprit?

They were not fitted at that point in time You have no direct experience with them

True, I agree, but I guess they're saying that if you're thrashing the car about or more politely 'spirited driving' then the pads would be more applicable. The red pads are a harder compound and hence take a little more time to warm up hence the problems that some people have had. At the end of the day some people like them, some dont.

This again is rubbish, you say a harder compound, red pads are ceramic, unlike all of the others. These days they do not require to be warmed up.

You have never used them so you do not know.

The discussion isn't about hawk v ebc, but oem v ebc.

All hearsay figures, but thanks for the fable

So you drive over 120,000 miles a year? Please

They are your words not mine, not hear say figures at all, many know the mileage of my 230 when it was sold and I have the other 2 cars here.

Those mileages were the miles driven on SBC pads :lol::lol::lol:

and now time to close. I hope the OP has all the info he needs to make his own decision on what pads to buy.
