• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

F3-S Brake pads

We recently got a 2015 Spyder F3-S. Just want to be sure that the rotors are made to be used with sintered brake pads / semi-sintered. Thanks.
 
I wouldn't bother with semi-sintered.... EBC has the best stuff... Vendors here sell 'em. Like BajaRon and Lamonster... They also have the rotors themselves which are also superior to the OEM stuff!

The stock rotors will work with both the Semi-Sintered and Fully Sintered pad sets. We used to carry both for the Brembo system. But the Fully Sintered stop better and last longer. Since that is really what it is all about, we only carry the Fully Sintered pads now.

Ok. Just making sure. I know sintered can chew up rotors that aren't meant for sintered pads. Just installed your anti-sway bar the other day. My wife said she noticed a difference.

Sintered pads are a bit harder on rotors. But I've never had a customer wear out a rotor. The BRP rotors are a bit soft. But warpage is what gets them (with our without stock pads). I've sold a lot of the Fully Sintered pad sets with zero wear issues. Now if you were racing them on a regular bases, it might be a different story. But I've got customers who run their Spyders pretty hard. I'm sure you'll be fine.

I will be getting the pads from you when the time comes.
 
I just replaced my pads all around with Ron's fully sintered pads and rotors at 50K. My left rotor was more worn than right and had a little scoring, why I don't know, so new rotors were worth it. Following the instructions that came with pads to the letter everything came out perfectly. Rear rotor will go on with new rear tire just before big trip this summer. Brakes stop like the hand of God.
 
Would those pads be the EBC HH?? That's the best pad I ever experienced. Great stoppers!!

Yes, the only pad sets I carry for the Brembo system (2013-2019 Spyders) are the EBC HH series. The Semi-Sintered are a bit cheaper, but the little bit more for the HH is well worth it. When I carried both versions everyone would ask me which one was better. I sold very few sets of the Semi-Sintered once I laid out the facts about both kinds.
