im after new pads for my 283 cossie discs, but want to know would redstuff pads be to over rated for an rs turbo running about 200bhp. are green stuff any good as when i have a few high speed runs i get cooked brakes in no time.

 

dont mess around with EBC there are far better pads on the market.

 

what like?

 

Ferrodo or mintex

 

I have greenstuff in mine and cant wait to get rid of them for some ferrodo, i dont know why people rave about ebc, there not very good.

 

i use redstuff ont he capper, quite hefty on the wallet as brake pads go, but never had a problem with them, although they seem to eat into the brake disks a lot more than other pads.
been on a couple of trackdays with it, standard brakes (aka bottle tops) non vented disks.
boiled the paint on the rear drums but never had fade from the redstuff pads. =)

 

Sponge, or cheese

 

ebc no brake dust = no brakes, there shit get your self some Ferrodo ds2500

 

as said above Ebc are rubbish!! Ferrodo or Mintex extreme

 

even a couple of slices of bacon would be better then EBC

 

Put some standard pads in it if its just for road use. Your brakes will feel worse the higher up you go in terms of fast-road/race pads if you don't get them hot, which you probably wont on the road.

 

i run red stuff and i cant complain they are pretty dam good if you ask me.

 

what he said!

 

What ever you do, don't use Greenstuff. Properly rubbish, worse than standard pads.

 

AGREED i bought red stuff for me s2, bag of wank these are!!!!! im going for ferrodo i think?

 

i use red on the front and green on the rear and i cant fade them no matter how hard i abuse the car.

 

I have to say i have used Greenstuff, it was only on standard discs on my van but they worked so well. I tested them quite hard and it cut my stopping distance by 15 yds or more!!! They lasted me for months and months

 

hasnt there been cases when they have cracked??

 

in going with the majority. sounds promising, cheers.

 

As stated above, forget EBC.

Best mod I did to my last brake set up was binning the EBC and using Ferodos! Night and day!

 

I tend to stick with Pagid, Ferodo or Mintex. I've 1144's on the RS atm which are by Mintex, they've been spot on. My spare pads are Ferodo DS2500's which I've used along with DS3000's on the EVO - again both very good pads 3000's may be a little overboard on the RS though they DO bite hard and will ware disks faster.

 

on my 4 pots i had red stuff to start with and they were wank, many times i thought i wasnt going to stop. im now using ferrodo ds2500 and the differance is amazing, much more bite from cold and perform great when hot.
