To me it is worth it for piece of mind and the prevention of turtle head moments   .
I also don't like EBC pads (having had bad experiences of them years ago), but they may have improved since then. I don't think they belong on a car of this value  . |
I'm with Mike on this one, over the years i've tried all kinds of fluid, AP, ATE Super Blue, Motul RBF600 etc.
I have had that moment myself years ago in my old E46 M3, pedal to the floor due to boiled fluid, nearly crashed, I absolutely cacked my pants, honestly thought I was a goner.
SRF is by far the most consistent, I've used it in all my cars for years, ideally it needs changing every year to keep it at it's best.
EBC pads are shocking, they melt, I had a set of rear EBC yellow in my old i8, I managed to melt them after 1 track session at Bedford, I can't even sell them for £5 on eBay as no one will bid, not much better compound than a OEM pad imo.
