    Original pads are ONLY for slow drivers. I killed them for about 2000km of agro driving. those 11000km were because of 5000 break-in. and 3000 high way.

    I will test EBC yellows

    LOL ... while it is true I do not have the Aero version, I wouldn't call me a slow driver.

    Perhaps you got defect pads or have a "dancing" foot (gas/brake/gas/brake/etc,).

    In any case, let me know what you think of the EBC Yellows. Cheers.

    Are you sure something is not wrong with the pedals? Could break pedal be going down when you press the accelerator? You shouldn't be burning through those pads like that, man.

    I think we need to see a video of Kurwa's driving style to determine the credibility of his claims the factory brake pads are "big monkey shit".

    I don't have car camera yet, they only video I got was recorded by iphone, and it was huge traffic jam so I had no change to maneuver for winning time. After 2 minutes it will be okay with camera http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0imwq34N9Nk

    I dont remember on which millage i installed EBCs, it is 50% left on them, and they still alive with very agro style and i did not notice anything bad about them even on cold weather, so they are must have option.

    I have about 25k miles on the car and the brakes look like they are starting to go so I will be switching over to a EBC Stage 2 kit

    Here are the part #s

    Part #: E35S2KF1271

    Part #: E35S2KR1850

    I am also still seeing if my contact at stoptech can put together something for me, I am looking for lines and pad upgrades as well.
