Got all four rotors and pads replaced today. I used the EBC redstuff pads. I am still getting a slight wobble in the steering wheel when I lightly ride the brakes, any ideas what's causing that?

Did you clean the hub really well and look for any surface irregularities? If the rotor isn't running true on the hub ...

You can pick up a dial indicator at Harborfreight to check it out. Then you can begin to figure out what's going on. You might have a bad hub too.

I thought EBC RED was their track formula pad? It used be 10 years ago.

If you are lookng for cross drilled then yes they do, im considering these along with Brakeperformance..ebcs are less... g1602 and gd1603 around $ 325 for all 4 14.4 front and 13 rear. BP is $435 but lifetime warranty and free ship. I have not seen anything close to ebc or brakeperformance prices im doing this next week

what i cannot find are the pads for the EPB...dealer wants 140 for the set....no way

Maybe get the EPB pads off ebay? And/or the UK?

Man I love the Brembo's. My '05 R had them and it was sooooooo much better than the '07.

Also, my Redstuff pads have a wobble slightly too. It's been getting less and less, they just have to break-in to the new rotors.
