EBC Racing brake pads are awesome according to Chris Wilson
The EBC racing brake pads were awesome! I must admit driving on the pads for about 50 miles and then subject them to a tarmac rally was a little worrying but worry not they performed fantastic! At the end of the first stage we had smoke pouring out the brakes but no one ounce of fade! All day the brakes smoked but never faded even coming down the mountain roads. I’m well impressed and I will be posting my results online. We got 2nd in class , remember we are a 1.3L engine running in the 1.6L class. Even got fastest stage! So thanks guys! Full report to follow.

I have to admit, I did not like rallying in tarmac due to is very fast, but after the experience with EBC Brakes, the experience has been another history.
Even in the wet tarmac I can not feel any difference
Thanks!

Dear Admin
Sorry for not answer before.
I am Chris Wilson’s co-pilot. I am one of the few women in a sport that traditionally has been for men (in my country).
Tarmac rallies never have been my favorites one, because they are really fast. Lack of confidence in breaks was a concern for me. That is why we started to look for a better option. We did not have chance to test the breaks before the rally. I was so so pleased and really impress with the quality of the breaks, never before we had such a good ones.
This time the rally was in a Volcano here in Costa Rica, which is very high (http://news.softpedia.com/newsImage/Top-33-Volcanoes-6.jpg/)
The fans that follow the rally, came up (after the competition) to tell us we were flying even though the hard conditions (weat and coming down the volcano) the answer was obvious EBC brakes.
Of course you can use my comments, please let me know if you need something else, I would be please to help you.
Have a good day
Best regards
Marianella
I’m the bloke that drives and Built the Suzuki. We use the Red stuff pads on the front standard discs. For the next rally we are going to the slotted/dippled EBC discs with red stuff pads so we post on how they work. We could go for the Yellow stuff pads but the Suzuki is a daily driver….remember the saying “race on Sunday, work on Monday” I will say the Red stuff pads would be a superb track day pad as they perform well on the track and on the street with minimum warm up for good performance.After 22 years of rallying I should chosen EBC years ago! Going to be my only choice from now on.
Hi,
Thank you for your kind words about EBC Brakes. EBC Brakes wishes you good luck with your upcoming races and thank you for using EBC Brakes products!
We would like to use your comment as an upcoming blog, would you be able to tell us more information about the Suzuki you run? And please keep EBC Brakes updated about your results with EBC Brakes products.
Hi Admin,
We run a class N1 (up to 1400cc)1989 Suzuki Swift GTI in the class N2 (1401 -1600cc)due to there are only 2 N1′s running in the Coata Rica championship. Running in N2 gives us some extra challenges competing against cars with 300cc more but we try to be competive either on gravel or tarmac.The Suzuki is a home brew specifiction car using modified Subaru impreza road STI struts and suspension parts. The engine,gearbox and suspension I built myself developing the car as we progress through the championship. With the current set up the car handles and stops very well for a low budget project.
We are huge fans of Chris Wilson here in Costa Rica!
