mjhpadi Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Most of you are aware that I changed my rotors and pads in early summer this year to the EBC Slotted/Dimpled rotors and EBC Redstuff pads. One of the requirements for Pennsylvania state inspection is the inspection and measurement of brakes and pads. I have probably put about 7-8K miles on my car since the change and I was very pleased with the results of the inspection yesterday. Both front and rear pads measured at 12/32, which is still very good. It is also nice to know that all the pads are wearing evenly. Thumbs up to EBC! One thing that I found funny was that my General tires have 1/32 less tread on the front than on the rear....darn that front wheel drive basis! Or could be I have gotten a little to heavy footed leaving from a stop on occasion???? tss 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mval Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 mark-that's real good news on your ebc's. i haven't had mine measured, but have them on both my cars. both being heavy & takes good breaking power to stop them & ebc's do that. the only thing i wish that on my sho would have done what you did with the slotted/dimpled. with my open wheels would have looking even better than just slotted, but it is what it is. just wish carlisle wasn't 800 miles away, would love to come over.

mjhpadi Posted December 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 You could hitch a ride in with BPD and I would be willing to split a motel room with you, and it wouldn't cost you anything to get into Carlisle...you get two people in with your pass, you could be my 2nd...wife would rather watch paint dry than go to a car event...don't know how we ever ended up married??????

markssho Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Good feedback Mark. I'm not having any luck with the Centric Premium rotors and Centric Posi-Quite pads. They've been on the car almost year and 7,000 miles. They are shuddering and grab uneven. [emoji34] Next time I'm in for service, I'll have them checked.

mjhpadi Posted December 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Mark, I am very pleased with the EBC...I had them on my F-150 that only had front disc's and both the rotors and the pads held up better than any others I had tried...and that truck had terrible brakes from new.

mval Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 You were wise beyond your years, that's why mark- my wife is the same, has never been to one of my shows, even just for a few minutes. her response is i see it everyday taking up room in our garage collecting dust, don't need to see it any more than that. i think the thing that has helped out our marriage of now 41 yrs, is that i'm a morning person & she's a night person, so spend little time together. although did get her to go with me over the weekend to look at a car color thinking about ordering for new dd, as daughter's car just cost us $500 more for a starter, about ready to turn it over for a charitable deduction, that's all it's good for.

tokyorick79 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Hey where did you get your brake setup from, and how much did sist break you? I need to upgrade my brakes and was strongly considering the police interceptor package. But I'm hearing some so so results. It sounds like your more then happy with your investment.

mjhpadi Posted February 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 I got mine from The Place For Brakes. They had the best pricing I found and they did have free shipping with orders over $50.00. Don't know if they still do free shipping, but their service was great and so was their customer service. Here is the website: http://www.placeforbrakes.com/products/brake-pads-and-sensors/ebc-brakes?check=1 Check them out. I know when we replace brakes on either the Explorer or the SHO I will purchase from them again. SHOdded 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindenBruce Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 OP, Which part number for the front rotors did you buy? And was it just the rotor or did the rotor come with the unit bearing and reluctor? EBC wants four hundred bucks just for the front rotors. I did the EBC redstuff and slotted rear brakes and love them. But sticker shock is killing me on the fronts. Thanks, Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
