Hi guys just a note to say this forum works.

When i first joined i had interest from ppl about EBC brakes and after a bit research with a few guys on here. Finally CV8mike to the plunge and ordered pads and discs all round for his 05 cv8. They arrived and the discs and pads were fitted 2 his car. They went straight on and he had no problems. I then ordered a set of front pads and discs for my 04 CV8 and they went straight on aswell.

After this i contacted EBC tecnical and informed them that the pads and discs off the Pontiac GTO fit the uk version (Monaro). I have just recieved the 2010 catalouge from them and they now list discs for the Monaro in the catalouge. I have checked aswell and they have brought in more stock to cover this aswell. They have only brought in 5 sets but its more than what they were carrying for the car before.

So thanks to all the guys who helped on this when the topic was up about 10 months ago and because of that work we now have a alternative to Vauxhall prices.

Ps they are now listing pads for the 6ltr VXR8

Its a big comfort to know that we can now get discs and pads at 'normal' prices instead of silly bugger prices.

Quick question mate; are your prices the same (or thereabouts) as the ebay prices that I've noticed recently? (about £200 a front pair)

I know that the EBC discs and pads are the same for the 6.0 VXR and the VZ CV8 if that helps. GD7299 iirc

Just lookiing throw the EBC catalouge and they list the 05-07 5.7ltr discs fron discs as GD7299 @ 320mm. They dont list discs for the 6ltr 05-07 but say the discs are 330mm.

But they do list the same pad for the 5.7ltr 05-07 and also the 6ltr 05-07. But there is a 10mm difference in discs. Is this right?

I know it was a common upgrade to fit VXR discs to CV8s so they must be the same size, no?

Ok i have passed it over to a freind who has a contact in Vauxhall and get him to confirm the discs sizes and also that both cars are running the same pads

I wouldn't say need per say but, i do prefer the look of drilled discs as opposed to grooved. Depending on the cost obviously as at the mo I don't really need them but a price would be good if possible could always sell mine to help with the cost

Save yourselves the bother chaps, EBC dont do discs for VXR Monaro.

some ppl say that but i have had there padsand discs fitted to 3 cars an never had a problem

opinions are like assholes everyone has them

[Wolfracer]

I need/ed new rear pads. Took it to a relatively trusted tyre/brake/clutch shop today and they said they would have a ring around for some pads and call me back within the hour. 6 hours later, no call, so I called them and they said they were waiting for EBC to call them back re 05 CV8 pads.
Needless to say, I said don't bother and got some ordered within a few minutes from the Ghoti....
Just my observation on EBC...

I ordered some for my 04 cv8 and they fitted no problem. Problem is the discs are still too small for the car so it doesn't make it brake much better.
