We back to the EBC debate again. My work do Ebc brakes have them on my CV8 Yellow stuff pads and groved discs and i have no problem with them. Do a bit track work with them and have supplied a few people of this forum with them and none of them have complained to me about them not working.

But i dont think EBC do pads for the VXR8. But if u have a EBC part number let mne know. i would not use red stuff even thow they are made with ceramic material i would go for the yellow stuff which is a race pad.

I have supplied K15tox front pads and CV8mike pads and discs all round. Ask them how they feel.

Just the VXR8 is a heavy car i would say try the yellow stuff in the and the part number would be DP4045R if you want i can check out if they are avliable from EBC for you and what price to expect to pay for them. I could price up both sets.

Can anyone please tell me the difference between EBC pads and the performace one's sold by Monkfish?
The reason I ask is that I intend to replace the front and rears on my Monaro. Hopefully this will prevent severe brake judder.
I had to put up with that problem before and had the standard pads and disc's replaced under warranty. It sounds like this this may happen again with the standard setup.

We sell the Performance Friction pads. They are a different compound to the EBC pads. Indeed, all manufacturers use their own compound.

If the judder is servere, then it is unlikely that a different set of pads will clear it, whichever ones they are.

edited to add, this is for Monaro. For R8 we do the ferodo pads.

MR Monkfish, at this time I do not have any problems with the standard pads, I would like to get an improved feel through the brake pedal and hopefully see an improvement in stopping power, nothing earth shattering!


Thanks John

Brake pads and hoses will improve the feel, and the pads will give a small improvement in stopping power. But ultimately, they are too small!
