Uprated brake discs and pads offer a significant improvement in braking performance for MGCs used in spirited road driving, touring at speed, or occasional track use. EBC slotted discs feature precision-machined grooves across the disc face that clear the gas film generated by pad materials under heavy braking, this gas layer reduces friction and causes fade on standard plain discs. Cross-drilled discs take this further by providing additional channels for heat dissipation and gas evacuation, reducing disc temperatures during repeated hard stops.
Kevlar Performance Pads
EBC Kevlar pads, the well-known 'Green Stuff' compound, are designed as a road-use performance upgrade that works from cold, requiring no warm-up period. They increase friction and braking efficiency compared to standard pads, with minimal dust generation, a practical benefit for owners who want to keep their wire or chrome wheels clean. The pads provide reassuring, progressive braking across conditions from daily commuting to spirited driving. For the best result, uprated discs and Kevlar pads should be fitted together, as the combination provides the greatest improvement in stopping power and fade resistance.
