EBC Brakes
- Thread starter hatt
- Start date
If your car did not need rotors and pads, yes.
I think EBCs are better than white box, but they are no Zimmermans IIRC.
Pads? I've read so many threads that I don't even know any- AKEBONO ProACT! ONE OF US, ONE OF US!

I have Pro Act on my truck. I would have gotten them for the Camry of the EBC kits weren't so much cheaper than buying rotors and pads separate.

Where are the EBC rotors made? I've always wondered if their entry level stuff was also cast in China.

Almost 100K on the original brakes. They're getting a little thin.
Probably money well spent then
Up here, I change the calipers also; nothing worse than new rotors burning up because of a sticking slide

From what I can tell most are cast in the UK. A few are cast in Italy. If they have switched to China they'll be going back.

Make sure the rotor vane pattern matches the originals. For that application, I have noticed that many aftermarket rotors have a different rotor vane pattern.

I had some EBC green pads on my '02 F150 that cracked and fell apart in < 10,000 miles on me. Not very pleased at all.

Haha. I bought the stage 1 set with the Ultimax2 pads. Supposedly the closet to OEM, and the lowest cost.

No you did not waste money. It is possible that pads will last less than Toyota OE, but they will improve braking.

The greenstuff pads were really good on saturns, i never used their rotors. I'm surprised they made the green pads for a truck, i thought they were for light cars. EBC makes a truck suv pad.

EBC is quality stuff made in the UK.
They're more of a performance oriented brand, but their Ultimaxes are the OE equivalent line.
You should be fine. EBC isn't too well known outside of racing circles in the US because they're a smaller, foreign company, but they make good stuff. Their rotors are top quality coated and the pads should be at least as good as stock.
You made a good decision, don't worry about it.

They look like they got in contact with brake fluid and then overheated.
