fitted my 4x4-2wd disc conversion tonight, they look better than the std rs turbo items, hope i will feel the difference

 

You will feel the difference as anything is better than the standard setup mate.

 

My standard calipers are ok tbh. I've taken the ABS off and got greenstuff pads. Brakes well now

 

Do you not find the greenstuff pads annihilate your disks? I fitted some to my daily driver (e36 328) as the brakes were a bit disappointing, they've been on there for nearly 8000 miles and i need to change them at the weekend. I fitted new disks at the same time and they will need changing with the next pads

Rob,

 

greenstuff are shit, get redstuff or ferodos.

 

seconded. I found that greenstuff pads were shit form cold and didn't really offer that much bite even when warm. i swapped to ferodos and the difference was like night and day. instant bite and no fading when they get hot.

 

Certain Pagid pads are supposed to be pretty damn good too, Gaz what were your red stuff pads like? i have heard they take ages to bed in?? Just bought some Pagid pads for the bm so shall see what the difference is, next i think i will try yellow stuff....

 

Ferrodo dsp's all day long, greenstuff are shite!!!!!!

 

ferodo ds2500 is shit compared to eps pagid blue or yellow! no nasty sounds and bite from 0 degrees..
and they don't eat disks...

carbon lorraine is also pretty sweet. but they leave a lot of dust!

 

I was on about ferrodo dsp's not ds2000, and dsp's are certainly not shit certainly not for a road car imo

 

all ebc pads are crap fact

 

dsp??
really never heard of them here in holland..??

http://www.ferodoracing.com/it/car_r...brake_pads.htm only used 2500 and 3000..
i can't even find them on the ferodo site??

 

I don't find my Greenstuff's too bad really. Got them fitted on my daily E30 and that brakes well, and my RST does too. Got no experience of the Feroro's tho, and I've heard they're good. Might try them next time around.

 

They do them in england as i bought them from woodford garage motorsport try looking in fast ford or performance ford at woodfords ad then you will see them they are the ferrodo dsp range

 

Cant fault em mate, i had no problem bedding them in, they aint the best when cold but as soon as they are warm the difference between them and green is night and day

 

Got the box here in front of me m8 they are ferrodo dspf (fds276 for escort s2)
