Whom is interested in EBC sport brake pads ?? (inquiry)

Post by V480TI » Wed Apr 22, 2009 6:21 pm

Due to the fact I have been looking long enough now for sport brake pads for my frontaxle with vented disks and nothing found for it this ::
:cryhard: :cryhard: :cryhard:

I have contacted EBC and if they (I think) can sell 50 sets in one year, they are willing to produce.
Now, I am not sure if I must take 50 sets or they make them and sell them .... but it's a beginning.


1) whom can help me in the contact with EBC ??

Considdering the extra amount of power either by offcourse Rich or Rica I think it is almost a neccesary item to brake safe...... and drive on......

2) Whom might be interested ??? (just frontaxle,vented types)

thanks and greetz

i wouldnt even bother with the pads tbh.

First of all you won't get 50 people to buy them
second they will be more than £20 (most peoples budget)
third they will only be slightly better if sticking with standard shit discs.

I would just buy a better set of brakes from the off. I did once offer this product. You need minimum 16inch wheels but 17inch are better to give the best clearnce for the rotors and 4 pot calipers with pads to match. Loads of interest no buyer so gave up trying to help people
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

fiat coupe brembo i dont rate. They dont stop the 20v turbo coupe well. Soryy thats wrong they stop well once then they fucked.

I had a kit made up. 280mm discs or 300mm if i remember right. two size option using HOMDV calipers which i was to get made from a leading caliper manufacture. They were not austin priness calipers before someone says. This kit is no longer an option as i am shit out of steam.

There will be a couple of HOMDV big brakes kits made one for me and one for the HOMDV apprentice.
