Cheap brakes from ebay ABT advanced brake technology plus Stoptech pads


Hi,

I'd like to share with You my experience with those nice looking brakes.
They are cheap, about 200$ for set with black zink, drilled and slotted.

This user sells them:

eBay My World - advance_brake_technology

For few days I use them I can tell they are worth much more.

BTW, at order, I asked man to make them dimpled, not drilled - I'm not fan of cross drilled, due they can easly crack, so for 20 extra he did them dimpled.

They have same size like stock everywhere, I was testing them for about 1 hour driving on highway and doing hard stops ( It was night, empty, so I had place to do that), driving like on track, and they were not warped any one time. Hard test was on braking 3 times from 150 miles to zero one by one.

At now now I looked at them, and they have no sign of overheat, no sign of crack.

I asked man if they can do such braking without warping, so he confimed, but said, that pads are not for track driving and I have to buy different, but for street daily driver they are enough.

After reading some posts and after driving with friend mustang that had EBC Red stuff - I was not satisfied with cold braking,
on my ex v6 I had Posi Quiet® Extended Wear Brake Pads that's are very good overall pads, I deicided to cheaper option than EBC and bought StopTech® Street Performance.
Now I can tell, that they are better cold than EBC red, not such good like Centric Posi, but once warmed a little they perform same like EBC Red.

If anythink will go wrong with them, I'll let You know.

We over sea mostly earn less than in US, and buying expensive parts, paying very expensive shipping and customs, makes them twice or even triple more expensive than You buy them in US, so very often we can test something that not many people buys because of cheap price.

Stock are warped with hard brake from 80 miles...

Before I had Rotorpros that were done from Centrics and they least at my ex v6 third season and are driven often at track.
But I like to try something different and wanted black zink and they don't have. So chose was EBC or this ones..

Also there are not many opinions about some parts including this, I was searching, not found that much, so I deicided to share it.

BTW, I didn't deicided for EBC rotors because I have 2 friends that bought them and both has them warped not driving track.

I have had EBC brakes in many track cars and motorcycles without a hitch. I don't know how you guys actually warp the rotors. I've had brakes glowing hot and fading to the point of not even slowing the car down and never actually warped them. I've seen a few with cracks, but that's it.

There is also question if they were originals. Second if quality sold in EU is same like US. Third how they was driving - i cant tell, but they for sure bought them in EU.
There are also many types of them.
And one here costs same like this complete set. That was my final argue and not much lost if they dont work good.

I didnt want to make discussion if something is better than other, i used other brands to say that this set is comparable for now and great upgrade over stock if someone is afraid to take it to the track, but every one has his mind and will buy what he likes and as expensive as he want to spend.

After some time i'll do update.
I was in meantime at autocross, lot of daily driving and track like driving, also some modification.
What i can tell now, discs are good quality, i burned zinc in mean time, tried then really hard and they have no sign of warp or another damage.

I'll update info about pads later on.
