With price on OEM Front discs being really brutal, we had to get creative
Ok guys. As i promised to take measurements for EBC rotors. Even though it is nice - 8C outside i did it so the saga around rotors ends.
It is true inside of the EBC rotor sits same as OEM one, outside of the EBC rotor is 3mm closer to inside than OEM one. CENTER of the EBC rotor sits 1.5mm off center compared to OEM one. I am 100% sure that 3mm additional extension on outer caliper piston will not cause problems when pads gets worn, now when i looked i am even less concerned about piston over extension... Looks like it has far more travel than additional 3mm when fully worn down.
So conclusion: rotors sit off-center due to being 3mm thinner, this could be easily solved by puting a custom 1.5mm spacer betwen hub and rotor, i might do that in the future Other than that i cannot tell the diffrence from stock.
Verdict after 5000km:
Ladies and gentlemans, i just did 40+ km of spirited driving even though it is almost freezing outside and with winter tires, one section of a downhill ride i really on purpose got brakes really hot, i mean they smoked a little, and now are colored
i wanted to know how OEM pads works with EBC discs on the limit. Even when really hot this brakes perform good. I am so happy. Spirited driving i cant tell a difftence betwen oem and ebc rotors, i think oem takes longer to heatsoak due to mass, but ebc perform beyond well. Before i used oem rotors with normal brembo pads and they are useless beyond 450c... So pads are really important. Go yellowstuff or oem if you drive hard. I might do the 1.5mm spacer betwen rotor and hub to center the disc inside caliper, if there will be uneven wear. So far all is ok
