Hello everyone.

I had my turbo groove EBC slottet and drilled rotors on for 500 miles now and it was a improvement from the original system on the SVT at start.

Then from out of blue I get vibration, cant really say if it's from the rear or front but the steeringwheel shakes a little.

Another wierd thing is that theres no vibration when the rotors are cold but after a couple of stops everything vibrates.

Anyone had problems with almost brandnew EBC rotors? cause 500miles shouldnt warp a rotor like this.

I used ebc redstuff pads , (never liked the green color )

Yep the EBC pads are shiet! They warp everything. If you read the forums you'd have found this out the easy way!

Yeah, I used to have Green Stuff, and those are garbage. They warped my rotors like crazy. I didn't complain because they came with the car but still. The pad actually fell apart when they were removed.

Now I've been using EBC rotors for a while now, and no warp at all. I'm using Mintex A/F pads. Nothing special but does the job for me.

Vibe in the steering wheel is generally from the front, IIRC. If it were the rear, you'd feel it in your seat.

I have (supposedly) EBC plain-faced rotors all around with Mintex A/F and have not had any trouble. I put about 500-600 miles on them (IIRC) before doing a pretty thorough seasoning and bed-in procedure.

True that Stazi but i had them on before i joined

I got a good deal on blackdiamond rotors and pads are they the same [censored] or should i go for them?

Getting bigger discs here in sweden is a 2000 bucks job and this will be 400 bucks non slotted or drilled

Should i take it?

Peter I've never heard of blackdiamond brakes so I couldn't say.

PS I can send you stuff to sweden. I sent brakes to spain for another guy. PM me if you want. My prices are good and with shipping to sweden it should still be reasonable.
