Performance that matches the originals, low wear rate, moderate price, EBC HH brake pads quite logically come first in our rating.

Braking comfort: Anyone who seeks the feel of original equipment brake pads will be on familiar ground here. Very good progressiveness is present along with the feeling that there is enough braking power in reserve for heavy braking.

On the test bed: Sintered EBC brake pads are perfectly suited to road use. Their performance trend faithfully follows the original baseline pad, always a notch above. Just as important, the friction factor rises progressively up to a culminating point in excess of motorway speeds. Furthermore, wear was one of the least pronounced in our panel.

Hard braking at 60 kph Another area where these pads are close to the original equipment Tokico pads. Stopping distances are similar, to within ten centimetres. The braking trend graph shows a sharper bite.

FOR Moderate price Performance that matches original equipment pads Moderate wear rate AGAINST Nothing.
