Has anybody fitted EBC pads/disc to their J yet?

I know I need new rears before M.O.T but debating what to buy

Used EBC before on several other cars and never had any issues to speak of.

Quite a few VXR owners won't go near EBC as the pads have failed, the friction material came away from the backing.

I'm currently running Ferodo and alot of people have good reviews on Pagid and Mintex

Yeah I don't think I'd want that happening even more so if I had a VXR.

Although I've never had any EBC issues myself I've heard nothing but good things about the Ferodo to be fair... most people seem to agree they are worth the extra cash.
