completely different conditions making this a useless comparison.

How did you ensure that the driver doesn't stop too early or too late? I believe the EBC red are great pads but weather and driver brake timing would vary.

[claudedotS]

seems like in the first day was more humidity on the street... just sayin'..

[fawkurface]

never gonna please everyone.. if you were to break the pads in, come back and take them off to test stock pads people would say because they were removed they would need to be reset. only way to do this test perfectly would be indoor climate controlled area. i give ya props for trying

[travishill]

I am looking into getting a set of these soon but am not sure which rotors you used... you say USR Sport rotors so I assume that's the USR slotted rotors from EBC and not the GD Sport rotors... I am really looking for information as to which rotor type is better between the two, but EBC does not make a USR Sport rotor, only a GD Sport rotor which is dimpled and slotted or a USR slotted rotor. I definitely want the yellowstuff compound though.

Impressive. I presume all other variables were the same, tyres, track temperature etc. Also reminds me of how bleak and cold the UK weather is!

Look at their hair and weather at the beginning. Then after bedding in after 1000 miles and coming back...the weather and hair is spot on the same. 😂

[CarlosDiaz-chyc]

can i do that same swap on 08 honda pilot

[siliquaesid]

OK, conditions are different and I would expect to see the driver STANDING on the pedal, I'm talking FULL ABS engagement and maybe try that at 70MPH, and a few heavy braking attempts before hand to get some heat into the system THEN lets see how these pads and discs handle some serious heat. There is NOTHING worse that barrelling into a corner, stabbing the brakes and... NOTHING.

This is a useless comparisson because you should really warm them up first to see if any of them fade away or not
