Hmmm not as good as I thought

A follow up guys,

Recently I put up a post about having bought EBC's red stuff brake pads installed on my w204 c class coupe. I feel now that I had become spoilt after driving my sls and the brakes on the c class felt really weak.

I had the brake pads installed professionally and reported back to you guys that the brakes felt amazing. The initial grab was brilliant and the feel was great. I put up with a few weeks on squealing but that disappeared too, I was really happy.

Unfortunately, after having covered about 900 miles I feel now that my brake discs are warped. The steering wheel has developed a wobble when braking from around 40+ mph

Sometimes the brakes make a horrible groaning noise under heavy braking from high speed.

I don't think I have any option but to change the pads and discs now.

So in conclusion I don't think the OEM discs on the Mercedes can take the EBC'S.

As an alternative I've seen mention of Epads has anyone experienced them?
Or shall I just go back to OEM?

It could be to do with this:

However, I am not sure if taking the discs off and cleaning up will rectify, or once you feel the wobble, they're boogered.

I'm waiting for my service to highlight the issue in due course.

From lessons learnt from motorcycling, I will *never* buy EBC pads or disks again.

They have a shocking reputation for poor performance and accelerated disk wear on bikes and I dont doubt the compounds are the same for cars.
