"pedal on the right"
Default

I bought a set of EBC Greens, turned my rotors and put them on last weekend .
Found out my front rotors are warped (story for a different thread)

When i was leaving to drive down to the airport to head out to Atlanta (business trip out of the blue) it was snowing lightly, with snow down and about 25F out. Night and day compared to stock brembo pads in terms of cold bite. WOW. the first application of the brakes drove up to about 22 mph checked for cars behind me and then pushed the pedal down maybe 60%. and i stopped. which is very much different then when i've done the exact same test on stock brembos at 32F. (i stopped then to but i can feel a differance between using the brembos at 60F and 32F) where as the EBC Greens appear to have almost the same stopping power at 25F as they do @ 60F

I went for a little drive around town a few nights ago and it was 15F out, and they still have amazing cold bite compared with stock brembo pads. (talking about the First time i use the brakes) I even had some snow / ice on the rims and visible ice on the rotors themselves.

Perfect recommendation for me !!! Thanks to all for the awesome advice!!
