Wow, that's awful! Thank you for posting this as a warning for those of us who will be replacing our pads in the near future. Between your issues and Brav's, I'm not touching any EBCs with the proverbial 10-foot pole.

I used both the DS2500s and Hawk HPS pads in 993tt calipers on my old S4. Both were solid but the DS2500s were remarkably good.
Yes.. I will go Hawk HPS next time, or Stoptec. If I ever tracked it, Ferrodo DS2500/3000 (I use them for my Noble). I don't know what the deal is with EBC - they overtemp VERY easily.
Were you at the track? looks impossible to achieve that heat on the street..

Brav, I thought you had stoptech's now?
Not at the track. Happened as I was bombing down the highway. Did a couple 90 to 60 braking instances. Next thing I know I get a terrible noise coming from the front left.

Been running the hps for a few years, good all around, not a ton of grab, but solid. Might try the plus or ceramic one day, but I do love my quiet brakes...

EBC just seems absurd to me; give me traditional 2-way LSDs any day! Or even the full lockup that I had on my '86 Turbo Quattro Coupe!
when I had my Konis installed, I made a point of personally inspecting each brake assembly and pads. Lots of meat left....for now.

I had the same problem w EBC.. 120 to 20 and smoking.. one stop. let alone warping rotors and the source of my huge vibration issue. i think the shuttering is what ruined all of my bushings etc.

true. I'm pretty sleep deprived these days. I haven't really strained my brake system yet; when I start running track days I'll be switching out the pads before I hit the track.

Hawk HPS... Best pads for daily driving, no noise, no dust, end of story.
I don't know why you'd want any more "grab" for a street pad on a 4000lb cruiser.
I noticed on another thread you could get EBC reds and OEM rotors for all 4 corners for $1300. After reading this I was thinking about the HPS and OEM rotors. What is a good source for rotors?
Thanks
