hey guys i want to change my pads and discs but i don't know what brand to go to. i want at least ebc pads, i drive the car on the street it's my dd but i race it a bit with lot of brake use. what colour ebc pads should i get and what rotors? a lot of people here use zimmermann slotted and perforated but i heard a story from a mechanic that after descending trasfagarasean road the rotors showed small cracks near the holes. ebc rotors are too expensive for my budget. what should i go with?

Use plain OE type rotors, it doesn't get any better than that. I'd use StopTech Street Performance pads for a mostly daily driver.The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

Stock rotors are fine. Spec e30 guys run the cheapest rotors money can buy and they last just fine.
As for pads... Bottom line run a dedicated set of street pads for your dd and swap em for the track.

ditto what everyone else has said. I run the cheapest I can find, typically OP Parts, on my PRO3 car without any issues. Even up to 1300F they work just fine.Comment

I have no direct experience with EBC pads, and I don't know what is readily available in Romania, however I would look into Stoptech Street Performance pads, some Hawk, or if EBC is the best option either green or red depending on how much performance driving you actually do versus dding.Originally posted by iloveshaorma View Post
Nah, I use temperature indicating paint on the OD of the rotor. Just as effective and less expensive.Originally posted by bastianshaw View PostComment

This is the exact setup I'll be using when I do my brakes, after asking here and doing my own research.Originally posted by jlevie View PostInterested in vintage cars? Ever thought about racing one? Info, photos, videos, and more can be found at www.michaelsvintageracing.com!
