As for "if it works", I don't know yet, I'm still running in the rotors and pads, did another run in today, initial bite is still not there yet, going to do it again for a few hundred ks... Need the freeway to do a proper break in...
Great so my Bendix ultimates will work okQuote:

Tell me about it! even the EBCs I used to have can't take the punishments... Hopefully this one will work better LOL!Quote:

I was originally planning to get SSS all round but would really like to hear what you think about them on the track.
Shitty pads really detract from the whole experience I never realised just how important they are untill now :P
The basic set from EBC... Green stuff... Never ever buy them again LOL!
Yeah, when the parts run in, I'll let u know how the SSS goes although I'll prolly never be able to tell you much because of the rotors LOL!
My stock pads are like tofu. I can press the pedal down 1/2way and it's not biting.... Brake line has no air bubbles and have been flushed. Will change over soon.Quote:

BTW, you reckon after I run in the rotors and pads, should I bleed the system again, I've flushed it but yeah.. Should I?
Mine have gone weaker aswell.. i think it's because the pads have glazed over?Quote:

there was a 1.9 TDI golf (latest model) out there aswell and he said his pads stood up fine..
verdict... oem euro pads = shite
I used to sand my OEM rotors every two weeks just to get that little bit more of bite because mine looks like a freaking mirror LOL!
If you've flushed it, then no need to bleed.Quote:
