    Cheers for the input lads.

    After driving for couple days and doing couple more sprinted runs the car brakes better. Still feels a bit mushy, but there is more brake pressure at higher speed which is normal I guess.

    I want to do next autoheros with these and then change the pads. But I ll take them out to have a closer beforehand.

    Alright so brakes were mushed... Got textar to swap. First thing i noticed is how much more meat textar has compare to EBC.



    Needless to say EBC didnt look too good. Only on the car couple weeks




    you can see the print from the brake piston


    Have also EBC on the rear but they look ok from out side. I think I ll leave them for now and might change master brake cylinder in few months.

    I'm more surprised you're leaving the rears on given the fronts were so bad

    x2, that looked awful.... I'd imagine the braking feels much better?

    To be honest the braking distance is the same maybe a little bit worse now. But with EBC after 2-3 hards stops they wouldnt bite/stop any more. Like a really bad brake fade. I assume this because they couldn't take heat well and were going soft hence the state of them after.
