EBC yellowstuff will leave resin deposits all over your discs. Shockingly bad cold bite and if you go anywhere near a track (over 450 degrees) they will fall apart


Not the EBC yellows I've been using the last 3 years. None of the above statement is even remotely true



I only make brakes for a living .... what do I know

lots of people seem to like EBC .... I just know that out of EVERY option available, they are the worst in every way, apart from price, cheap and nasty

It's got roof rails and a carbon lip spoiler since that photo. It's getting a different set of 22s fitted tonight. It's alright to drive, remapped x35d

Love that, although white ones are the norm down here. Must be an Essex thing

Wouldn't mind one myself. What do they handle like? A big barge i'm guessing?

It's not what you'd call on rails. It is ok however, no real roll as much as I'd expected.

Just washed the fiesta after the Scotland trip and noticed the cunts at Wheel Specialist East Kilbride have taken the metal valve cap off and put a black plastic on. Well done cunts. Fucking useless. Definitely not wheel specialists.

To be fair, they didn't advertise themselves as valve cap specialists

Yes mate.

Nic You'd have thought they'd be wheel rehearsed in all things tyres, alloys, valve caps and centre caps.

Just the one. The one that was on the wheel that had been refurbished. Would go and moan but it's 420 miles away they're probably a fortune From Ford aswell.

The even caught the edge of the alloy when refitting the tyre and touched it up hoping I wouldn't notice. Fucking cowboys.

Its proper loom tape, the non-sticky waterproof stuff that you only fix at each end.

am not one of them morons who puts the felt/furry stuff meant for interior looms in an engine bay.

I keep telling people about it, but they don't understand, hope your not one of them.
