By the way guys, i can't stress how important it is to follow the bed in procedure. This will ensure you have a nice even layer of pad transfer, zero squeel and best braking performance. When you first drive with the pads they will feel a bit weird, but this is normal, its just the chemical bed in layer adjusting to your disk. Once they are bed in you will be happy im sure I followed the procedure that EBC recommended (which i strongly suggest you do as well) and have zero squeel and they feel great. Just be aware at the start they will feel like shit and you'll get a juddering feeling when braking. This is normal! Its just the chemical layer ebc put on wearing away. EBC's recommendation: Best procedure is to drive gently avoiding harsh braking unless in an emergency for first 100 miles. i.e. very light on the pedal. In the second 100 miles (up to 200) you can use gently increasing brake pressures when using the brakes. Only after 200 miles urban driving (not 200 miles on a freeway where brakes are almost unused) should you attempt to apply heavy load and heat to the brakes. To do this final bedding on a QUIET ROAD in safe traffic apply the brakes (as hard as possible but dont engage ABS, so around 80% force) and slow from 60 to 10 MPH five times in a row. Then drive slowly for a few minutes if safe to do so to allow the brakes to cool. Try to avoid coming to a rest whilst the brakes are heated. A smell may be noticed from the warm brakes, this is normal. Repeat this procedure a second time after the brakes have TOTALLY cooled down. (i did this second run a few days later) EBC pads get better with miles. Even after this bed in procedure it can take up to 1500 miles before the pads are at their best. In the meantime the pads will be good and safe but true potential not realised. EBC makes performance pads that last, they do not bed in within 5 minutes driving. Noises will be more likely during the first 1000-1500 miles use whilst this chemical bedding takes place. I now have a few thousand miles on them and they are brilliant. Just make sure to follow the above procedure and you'll be fine! |
