Carbon Brakes

Hi all,

Quick question. Are their many advantages to having carbon brakes?

I have seen some EBC red stuff brakes for about £20 more expensive than the normal pads I have just put on my car. Would I need new discs or is it just a matter of replacing the pads?


Thanks in advance!!

Pads can be fitted on own. However if you want real carbon pads then get Carbotech XPs in 6s or something.... available via ThinkMini.co.uk - Website Currently Unavailable and 1320Mini

Way better than EBC pads IMO, I ran EBCs for a while and hated them, I thought they were not worth the money i paid for them.
