EBC is sold online by many parts suppliers. Just visit their site for details.

So these are supposed to be a pretty good improvement from the pads we have now?

The EBC Red Stuff is supposed to be better than stock. It is designed for highly tuned cars and some track use. At least this is what EBC claims. Go to their website and you can ask Andy Freeman questions. Please share what you have learned.

I drive my car HARD, and I have to clean off the brake dust at lesast 2 or 3 times a week. The wheels are waxed, so I just hose them off and dry them with a cotton towel, takes about 3 minutes.
