EBC pads
Well I have the EBC greens on my 330Ci and I hate them!
The dust is less, but still there. The worst part is the feel. I swore that I had air in my liness, the pedal felt really bad. They don't have the same initial bite, the brakes don't engage until the pedal is half way down (i.e. twice as far as the stock.) If you pump them a second time the pedal does go up. (yes, they were bed in and I have over 1K mi on them) I bled the brakes twice and then had them professionally power bled with no improvement. I put the stock pads back on and they felt great.
Must be the nature of Kevlar brakes, but I don't like them. I used them on the track this past Friday and they do stop the car and held up pretty well, but they don't have the same feel and are more difficult to modulate. Oh, and there was a lot of brake dust after Friday.
Personally, I don't like them. I would like to try the Axxis, Pagid or Porterfield pads. I'm thinking about one set for the street and one for track/auto-x. I would be interested in oter opinions.
