Review on EBC Brakes GD7223 Dimpled Slotted by Lagant Wardrick

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Terribly noisy never really worked

These brakes were fitted to my 2007 Lexus IS250 and it was a big mistake. They have been installed by Pep-Boys who is an authorized dealer/installer. They told me there would be a squeak when the brakes let up, but that noise never went away in the 20,000 miles I had in the car. I contacted EBC and they mentioned a shim kit that would fix this problem. Their shim kit was already installed and did nothing to reduce the annoying noise my brakes were making. I also used EBC brake pads. I simply took them off because they were deformed. I don't know if the rims are poor quality or if Toyota products just can't handle EBC, but this whole attempt was a huge disappointment. Only driven 20,000 km before they had to be replaced. I can't believe EBC couldn't even beat OEM performance. Really disappointing stuff.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
