I personally wouldn't go with EBC as I've always found their brake pads to be pretty wooden. Can't comment on the disks as I've never used them, but they are obviously attractive on their pricing, but you have to ask yourself why - cheaper materials? cheaper production? Bigger market share / less profit? I don't know, but I'll stick with Brembo stuff!

Jools gave some interesting tips there about the carrier bobbins - this may fix your problem. Get a tin of Braker Cleaner (aerosol spray) from your local car parts place or Halfrauds and use a toothbrush on them as suggested. No need for WD40 as the brake cleaner will work just as well.

You should be able to check by gently applying the brakes (dragging) and you may feel it pulsing back at the lever if the disk is warped. If not, it may be your bobbins - the test equipment probably doesn't exert enough force on the disks to align them on the sticky bobbins unlike the braking force.

Worth a shot, and cheaper than new disks!
