Ebc pads...312's?
Fail.
Just like your last thread, should have done a search.
nice, gotta do mine too, after doing the cv boot ns, i discovered that the pleasant chap that owned the car before me put standars a3 discs on the front but the calipers are s3, so my pads are half worn and half brand new. bless him.
yeah just abit, suppose thats what happens when ur to eager to buy a car.Lol very nice of him!!

Well to be fair, you'd expect the car to have the correct brakes wouldn't you!!
the car was cheap tbh, now im learning if it seems too good to be true, it generally is.
Yeah there is that, but on the flip side I got mine for 2400 with a full audi history and only 3 owners, just someone had keyed it! seeing as a mate of mine sprays cars for a living he re sprayed it for the price of the paint and a night on the beer!!
very nice,
mine is a 2000 apy, part service, custom code, top end rebuild, new clutch dmf and slave cylinder,
paid 2000 got near 4000 and still not upto spec.
will be happy to get my initial money bk, then move onto a s4 avant 4.2.
Are they not to your satisfaction?
Just ****.
Hopefully the pads will delaminate and you'll end up brakeless and wishing you had listened to people. With the monster heat the poorly ventilated 312's will make it is highly likely.
IF you had of searched you would know that EBC themselves issued an informal safety warning after SEVERAL 8L vehicles managed to sheer the substance which adheres the material to the backings. Leaving the backings and no material to stop the car...
Such a shame when people waste their money due to their own inability to converse
ohhh Jardo you have been owned, as we know your not going to inters
I wouldn't worry about it..... He does it to everyone....Shame, I'd love to meet the bloke who's always jumping on my posts to have a pop at me or what i'm doing.
Personally I would be getting all of my product testing done a long time before going to the Ring. But whatever, you're clearly a total pro so what can I possibly tell you. I
I don't need your opinion on the pads; I've used them on and off track (otherwise I wouldn't comment with such confidence). And with the heat of 312's they are not something I am happy to trust. The compound itself is fine, no worries there. But I have seen more than enough fail to not trust them.
No I am not going to Inters, because I have no interest in it. Many of my friends are going though, so feel free to ask them how awesome I am.
Feel free to continue buying things and doing testing and research on products many other people have done before you, it'll cost you a fortune and you will end up doing everything twice.
Also just to jog your memory, when you were originally asking about brakes I offered you assistance and you were a total **** funnel of a man.
I also tried my best to make you aware that you had been short changed with your mapping and should really have a safety check and diagnostic session post map. Which tens of people agreed with, even a forum sponsor. So when kicking off at me next, think about the level of "service and support" I was suggesting you deserved and the level of service you were given by a multi million £ company who took £300 of your money. Only trying to help you out and stop you making mistakes...
So generally speaking, FU if you think I am NOT going to now make it my life goal to belittle anything you decide to do. Your attitude sucks, it sucked a few weeks ago and it has sucked in ever insufferable comment of yours I have seen since.

My own EBC pads broke away from their backings after ADI, and that was only a 15min session at Combe...They were rather old, but they still broke down before wearing out.
Remember to use the brakes to warm the tires and brakes before killing it, and remember to cool down thoroughly and then when the vehicle is parked do not apply the handbrake. Chock the car.
This will prevent heat bonding the pads to the discs on the back, as well as reducing the minimal chance of warping if you really ****er it on.
I did the Ring on completely stock brakes once. Man that was an interesting few laps
Still alive to tell the tale! LoL
Was everything on the brakes stock!? So OEM pads, discs and brake fluid!?
Yep, all stock. Couldn't even last 1 lap. A year later I had motul racing fluid, DS2500s, and Brembo max discs and the improvement was night and day. The following year I had same discs and pads but 4 pots and again another improvement.

Lol no wonder that was a few interesting laps! Not so long after you got the car I'm assuming?
OP - let us know how you get on with your set up; when are you off to 'the ring'?
Personally I've told myself I'm not tracking my car until I get LCR brembos tbh. I'm not up for paying good money for a track session and not being able to push on hard due to the hardware failing or not performing everyone I've spoken to/thread I've read says the 312s turn cheesy when tracking them, so stay just bare that in mind
I'm off on the 26th July, I've tracked worse cars with smaller brakes, not too worried to be honest, always got a hand brake! I am tempted to get some 4 pots though!!
Get the 4 pots 100%
