I fitted some EBC turbo discs and green stuff pads a few months ago and i've managed to warp them, I did bed them in for a about 2000 miles before any heavy braking. Can anyone suggest how I can stop doing this or suggest another set of discs to use or a big disc conversion?? cheers

seen on many a post that the EBC discs do seem to warp when fitted to the mondy ( guess its just cos it a big bruiser of a mota the discs have to stop )

i managed to warp the standard front discs on my mk3 a month or 2 back and will be replacing them very soon with a set of drilled & grooved ones from Ebay user mtec100 i think it is ( they have loads of discs & pads for all makes & models & have plenty of supporters on here )

Sorry to here that mate

As i have said before tyo anybody do not buy EBC they will warp
I have the ebay ones on my 220 with red stuff pads and fingers crossed they are ok at the moment
But one thing they do do over ebc is rust very quickly
Good luck

I 2nd that, I also have Ebay Disks on my 220 all round, with Mintex Pads. Had them on for a fair few months now.

Also noticed they really do rust quickly

I bought a set of Turbo discs and Greenstuff for my Mk2 and got serious judder from 60 mph. Ford reckoned that they needed to be replaced after only a few months as they thought that the discs were warped.....

Turns out that after a trip to Graham Goode, Leicester, it was the rear brake drum. That was about 2 years ago and the brakes are still fine.

I would personally always go for grooved discs as cross-drilled discs have a tendency to develop hot spots which can lead to cracking/warping....
