Can you let us know once you've had some time on them how the brake dust is? I am definitely looking to swap out my pads for low dust pads.I’m putting these on this weekend:
Hi Kitkat, I'd been considering the EBC Red as well. Would you please keep us updated on your experience with them? Won't be tracking the car and find the stock brakes more than adequate for my purposes but would love to cut down on the dust...I’m putting these on this weekend:
Forgive my ignorance, is there anything special with the Lotus brakes that makes pad install different than any other regular brakes?
Will do, I personally think the ds2500 stock pad is too dusty and grabby for street driving and they’re also completely inadequate for track time, one of those middle of the road compromise situations.Hi Kitkat, I'd been considering the EBC Red as well.

low dust pads usually poorer preformance.Can you let us know once you've had some time on them how the brake dust is? I am definitely looking to swap out my pads for low dust pads.
And put a small bit of anti-seize on the contact points of the pins (where they sit within the bores of the calipers) to make them really easy to tap out in the future. I bent a punch trying to get a pin out of a Brembo Audi Q5 caliper and had to cut the pin to get it out. Granted that car was driven in snow and salt, but it never hurts to make life easier on your future self.Nothing particularly different at all. If you’ve ever done the brakes on say a BMW M caliper it will feel very familiar. Knock some pins out, remove the anti rattle spring, replace pads and reassemble opposite of disassembly.
I'm okay with that, I only weekend drive/street drive my Emira and mine will never be tracked. I had Akebono pads on my Civic Type R and with my ceramic coated wheels, they virtually never needed washed. With only 1,100 miles on my Emira, and with my Emira wheels ceramic coated, I need to wash my wheels every 100-150 miles, otherwise they get terrible brake dust build up.low dust pads usually poorer preformance.
Welp guys. Took delivery and just got it back from full xpel ppf. I’m relieved that I probably will no longer be checking this thread 3 times a day like I have for the last 2 years. The car is beautiful and was worth the wait.
Well turns out showing up on Autotrader does indeed mean it has physically arrived and has been checked into dealer inventory! I just got the call a few minutes ago, the car will be ready to pick up Tuesday!My car, which was a 5/26 arrival into Baltimore, was listed by my dealer on Autotrader earlier today. This type of auto-listing is well documented on this site, so obviously zero worries of them trying to sell it to someone else LOL. My question though is do dealers typically enter inventory into the system before the actual arrival of the vehicle?
Dealer shot me over pics, it's fantastic finally seeing the real deal instead of computer generated renderings. Fingers crossed that PDI goes smoothly!Well turns out showing up on Autotrader does indeed mean it has physically arrived and has been checked into dealer inventory!

almost my same spec and I also had Lotus NJ do the ppf. is the guy they are bringing in still doing STEK with bulk install (not precut)? Congrats on the car!Picked up Wednesday… couldn’t be happier. Love everything about this build. Also, full ppf wrapped at the dealership and they did an excellent job.
Yes, STEK bulk install. really a nice job.almost my same spec and I also had Lotus NJ do the ppf. is the guy they are bringing in still doing STEK with bulk install (not precut)? Congrats on the car!
What was the cost for the full car PPF?Yes, STEK bulk install. really a nice job.
