The factual bit:
I spent many hours down at Star Performance yesterday 12 hours in fact (08:45-20:45) having a play testing a few things, having a load of work done, trying out a few things etc.
Firstly, thanks to Jim & Brian 12 hours and two meals later we were all knackered!
Credit where its due anyone looking for decent service, advice and standard of work could do a lot worse than giving them a shout.
Secondly, none of this was free labour rates, wheel alignment rates, dyno time, replacement parts all paid for out of my pocket...I have the invoice for over £900 to prove it!!
Thirdly, these are our (mine, Jims and Brians) observations based upon our findings. All testing carried out with conditions kept as close to previous conditions as possible etc some will disagree violently, some will agree thats your prerogative.
So, off we go:
EBC Brakes.
As many of you will know...I'm a fan of EBC Greenstuff pads...good grip, more bite, less fading etc...
But whilst having some brake 'work' done we found these:
NOT GOOD!
NOT IMPRESSED!
Needless to say, I have contacted EBC for their thoughts...but this could have been VERY serious indeed.
Makes you wonder about the quality of EBC products doesn't it?
