[QUOTE="chris2000, post: 193355, member: 2862"] Sorry guys.. Been really busy with work. The DBA discs were the last set, and they were offered to me before the year end stock check. Like my earlier post, I personally would have really wanted to match it back with the EBC rotors but i got the DBa cheap so... The EBC Redstuff were designed for more heavy braking and more sprited driving. When i installed them, on the second day the brakes started to squeal and it got worst on the 3rd day. I never experienced this personally on my ealier experience with lower grade EBC Blackstuff and Greenstuff. I was actually concerned but read through the EBC FAQ and it did mentioned that if brake squeal happens, i should drive it and run in them 1st. Did as what i read. After a week the squeal got much softer and brakes started to bite stronger. I'm on to my 3rd week with them and cover just slightly more 1000km with them. Squeal has now almost gone! And the bite is stronger and the harder i brake to work the temperature up the harder it bite :p Can't wait for my next trip to Genting and will test them again. Previously with OEM pads, charging down Genting I got brake fade by the third corner when braking for the bump! [/QUOTE]
