EBC Brakes Announce NEW High Performance Pads

[EBC Brakes]

I just want to clarify that the ST pads that have been sent out and the ED+ pads that will soon be on their way are a test material only, testing primarily for NVH (Noise Vibration Harshness). Once we have feedback from you guys we can work on the material and put it into production, but for now the pads will not be on public sale until we have better intel.

Rotors should be available in the coming weeks/months but in very high demand.

 

[JonR88]

they are $379 and $328 front and rear, you can find them at the below link. I'm waiting to hear from the dispatch team what the ETA on them are arriving in USA, but I likely wont hear back until Monday now.

I'm glad the majority of you have received your ST pads, i look forward to hearing how you all get on with them! the ED+ are still being manufactured but will be out to you lucky 5.

Any way to be alerted when these are available?

The new ED plus are a totally different blend- longer lasting and much less abrasive so will not wear down the rotor or themselves nearly as quick; but by the sounds of it if your rotor was heavily worn and the pad was not at all, there may have been a different issue at play.

Do you have any photos of the rotors and pads? we would be interested to have a look as that kind of wear is not usual.

Was it across all four rotors, front only or a single rotor?

Thanks for the reply.
I installed the new rotors and pads on all 4 corners. Greased all the caliper pins to ensure they were disengaging correctly.
The fronts were worn identical (inboard / outboard -left / right). The rear rotors were worn less, but identical (inboard / outboard - left / right).
I sold the truck awhile back, but was curious how rotors would hold up with the new pads installed.

The new ED plus are much less abrasive - early ED pad blends were for stopping power and were quite abrasive which wore rotors

New ED+ is designed for better brakes AND more life of both pads and rotors

Unfortunately not from retailers/distributors or ourselves directly, but i will certainly make a post in the forum as soon as they are

Please share your order number.

Just got my ED+ pads shipped. Will be installing next weekend.

Any test sets available for loyal, longtime EBC customers? (gratuitous pandering)

I'm afraid there were only a limited number of sets made for these tests, once they are in full sale we will start doing some giveaways on the forum

 

[Taurus]

Please share your order number.

You should pm them. That way they can get your business info and location for which international distributor to forward you to.

 

[EBC Brakes]

I am unsure what order number you are asking for, please PM me to discuss further.

We truly appreciate all of your comments and strive to be seen as a company that cares for and listens to their customers.

Here’s a quick write up as I was one of the winners of the contest for the rotors and new pads.

Installation is easy, although, I miss my Hellcat Brembos. Pads pop off/on in a jiffy

After removing the wheel and rotor screw it is only four bolts to get the pads and brake caliper off.

After separating the pad carrier and placing the caliper on the A-arm out of the way you just replace the pads with new EBC pads.

Of note, you don’t need a C-clamp to recess the calipers. The new pads slide over the rotor and the brake caliper should just drop in. Lots of room between the pads and caliper after install but don’t forget disc pad grease or they will squeal like Ned Beatty getting raped by an Appalachian.

The rotors vs stock:

I’m about to get mine put on too, looking forward to seeing the difference.

 

[JohnEB]

I haven’t received mine yet but I’m definitely ready to test them out.

Thanks for the write-up! I was also tagged as one of the winners of the pads + rotors, but I received the pads a while back and assumed the rotors were coming at a later date so I have been waiting so I could install and bed pads to the new rotors.

Did you recently receive the rotors in a separate shipment than the pads? Thanks!

If you need a tester on the worst of roads - 170 from Grand Junction to Denver, 4500’ to 11k’ feet twice and encompasses the Ike Gauntlet that TFL drives let me know.

I received the rotors before the pads. I received the pads in April and finally had the time to install them together. I still have the rear rotors and pads to install but I'm happy to report that there is significantly more bite with the front done.

The stock rotors are solid castings while the EBC units have a ribbed/ventilated channel on the inboard side of the hat. Should help with heat dissipation and recover faster during spirited driving. So far, so good.

Glad to hear, thanks for the information. I look forward to trying out and reporting back as well.

@EBC Brakes should I still expect to receive a set of rotors when available?
