Ok,

dave from Zeckhausen told me there were no pads for the 4.8 and recommended I look at new (smaller) rotors etc as a whole new setup.

secondly, EBC Red Stuff are the CERAMIC pads...... CERAMIC, not the standard.

This is a new pad for the 4.8 and how can anyone express an (experienced) opinion based on something that hasn't been out in the market place and is only just getting out into our cars? PULEASE!!!!!

I have done 5000kms with these pads now and am extremely happy with the lack of dust and stopping power in high ambient temp weather. Initial bite is very similar to the OEM and there is no noise.

You only have to do a search on this website http://www.ebcbrakes.com/WhereToBuy.html to find some locations.

i think all HE was saying was he did recommend the EDC pad. I have never used EDC but have used Porterfield before and like them.
As for the S/S lines i like them not sure i can say you can really feel a difference, unless you really heat things up. dont drive the X that crazy but i think they make a difference on the F.
