yeap no joke, 9 months until backing plate.
around 10k or even less than 10k km.
genting downhill almost every time fade, got 1 time fade until got smoke and totally no brakes (lol only the drums work, and rear braking a? woohoo fish tails~) had to stop road side karak for about 30+minutes to let the brakes cool. the wheels were smoking for at least 5-10minutes.
not to mention it raped my rotors so much i had to skim it, heart ache to see the slots being shaved thin.
never again.
EBC greens 1 year 7 months+
20-23k km+
never faded even until the backing plate.
and hor, why do people think ebc is a premium brand leh? to foreigners, ebc is just oem only lorh.
http://www.brakes4u.co.uk/itemdetail.asp?catid=11228my greenstuff costed me RM250
+20GBP shipping for single pad is additional rm100 which i obviously didn't ship a single piece lo. and despite that, it's still around same price, if not still cheaper than local price.
then there is their oem replacement which MANY people commented that it is pretty much same performance as greens except it's temperature threshold is a bit lower (and mind you, people still brake till glowing red disc and claim no fade ya), and it produces more brake dust.

with single pad shipping also rm200.
ultrex cost rm190, i might as well ad rm10 for ebc ultimax, no?
and that's assuming you're shipping ONE brake pad all the way from UK. you go find people bulk and share shipping, 20GBP split by 3 people/pads you only need to pay rm33-35 shipping.
and that company dare publish temperature graphs tests wo. who will i trust more?
(FYI greenstuff is only rated to be around 400-500 celsius, yet many nutcases will whack until glowing red disc and still claim no brake fade anyways)
