tdwindustries Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 I have used Ferado DS2500 and they are superb for fast road-ness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 There's been bad rumours about EBC pads & discs in the past, but I've had mine on for over 18 months & am plenty happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArosaPD Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 I've just renewed all mine, running 280mm drilled and grooved G60 discs up front with EBC green stuff pads and drilled and grooved discs on the rear with EBC green stuff pads too. Like I said in another post it adds a new dimension to the phrase "stopping on a sixpence". border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" />For those of you that have spotted the wrong side sticker on the disc, the manufacturer put the same sticker on both discs!! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_chris1981 Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 i tried both on my scirocco...found the ferrodo a bit grabby compared to the ebc, pagids were what i ended up using the most, as they were cheaper, and i seemed to get through alot of brakes, and still stopped quickly.

zippy Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 The only thing about Green stuff pads is that in the red calliper - they give you a headache! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The subtle modder Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 damn nice brakes arosa pd, you say it stops faster, but does it lock easily?i was only ever told one bad thing about EBC greenstuff pads from a guy i spoke to (recomended them heavily) but he said the wear rate on them was shocking so he upgraded further to red stuff pads which werent as good as "they needed more abuse before they would work amazing"wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_chris1981 Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 wel the red ones are race pads mate......so need to be uber hot to get grippy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArosaPD Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 (edited) Chris I know what youre saying, but my other motor is a Mondeo ST and I spoke to EBC personally, and it was their recommendation that I use Red Stuff in the front and Green stuff in the rear and that's exactly what I have got, and that Mondy will stop real quick (hot or cold). I was shocked when then told me that, as I too was under the impression that they were for race use. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" />Wayne, I haven't locked the front up really. She isn't that grabby, they bite quite nicely the Green Stuff pads. Edited November 5, 2005 by ArosaPD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
