Has anyone on the forum had these crack, i have a very heavy right foot and have had no problems just what to know if this has happened to anyone, been in to tuning cars for years and have never seen or heared of this happening. I have seen plain disks with hair line cracks but never seen one come apart.

EBC Says it all ive not got a good word to say about ebc disc's to be honest, tarox are a much better product. As pedro says ive had ebc on 3 of my cars over the years fitted by previous owner's i must add and all of them have ended up with hairline cracks one being very bad on a cossie.

Just been out to check my car you have got me

worried

now, they seem to be fine and i have done about 6,000 pretty hard miles on them. What cause's the cracks to much heat or is it manufacturing defects.

i think it was more manufacturing faults. I'd got the turbo groove discs as a free upgrade after i returned the plain EBC discs, which were covered in hairline cracks

Well mine where the ultimax black's which are the better ones they do allegedly and they still had cracks granted the car was 430 bhp @tw.

I am thinking that maybe the cheap disks i got of (m-tec100) ebay are not sure a good idea now, seeing as how the ebc you had cracked and they are a big manufacturer.

Don't think because ebc are a big manufacturer that they are great mate that aint always the case mate.

My brakes are Jacobs Crackered and the vibration from the rear is so bad when they get hot it shakes the car that much the cd stops! I was going to order those discs myself of there some dot 5 silicone brake fluid and some soft pads not hard other wise there wooden pads are so cheap you could by a set every 3 months if you wanted. Let me know how you get on.

Granted i am going to stick with them for now, and they do look great behind my wheels.

I've got EBCs on my V70 and they're absolutely fine mate- given them nigh on 4k miles of abuse now and no problems. Highly recommend the yellowstuff pads to go with them- no fade when hot and bite well when cold too
