As I have well and truely bedded in my new discs with the soft pads supplied I am looking for some with more staying power and less dust!So after much searching tracked down a helpful EBC dealers who can do single pair of Kevlar Greens (2000 series) for £50:00 + Vat and for a group buy £42:00 + Vat, is this a good deal? sounds ok any one use them? comments / verdict. Jeff TT

Is that fronts or rears ? Fronts I expect.

Could be that Warren just ripped me off !!! LOL

Complete set incl. VAT & delivery for £108

 

------------------

Thats for fronts, the guy told me that the retail recomended price is £78 + Vat and that EBC do encourage their dealers to charge that,makes you wonder what the actual price is to the dealer if he will do em for £42 on 10 or more sets. Jeff TT

ok Andy nice one lol.

I havent really enquired about these from 3 g brakes, but i will first thing monaday.

 

i just fitted redstuff pads, which i paid 72 squid for fronts

Guess What.

 

I am an EBC dealer. The guys from EBC will be on my stand at the G-Mex show Manchester 10th / 11th November.

 

Come on guys. Speak to me 1st.

Beat that price Johnny and I will!

 

------------------

good god look who we keep forgetting to phone. I have to admit, that johhny has so far given me the best prices i have asked for

 

Further to the above - I have EBC Greenstuff fitted to the front and the stopping power is improved (but I find they can catch you out on first use until they are warmed up!)

They still chuck out shit loads of crap all over the front wheels tho

I bunged Redstuff on mine and am quite pleased - luvverly stopping power for extended braking - I expect Greenstuff are good too - they need less time to warm up so should bite quicker for road use!

The guy told me he had a conversation with some tech chaps at EBC who advised him NOT to sell red stuff pads to joe public as when cold the pads (need warming up) may catch out an unsuspecting driver.However EBC have since denied this and say there is not a problem? hhmm. Anyhow he said the red pads

are £62:50 per pair or £52:50 for group buy. Jeff TT

At present I have carbon kevlar pads £129.99

for front pads.I find them excellent but I am

willing to try these green stuff pads to see

how they compare.Johnny do I detect another

group buy? Count me in mate!!!

 

------------------

yeah i went with redstuff, pulry cause i plan on going to the nurburgring sometime soon, and we have the trackday comming up and i dont really drive the car much and i aint joe public... im warren public

Hi Jeff

 

The greenstuff pads I got with the discs Warren kindly supplied me work great. The brake dust is reduced slightly in use so I would recommend them. I will be interested to see how long mine last aswell.

 

Seez ya!

simon this is interesting that you shoudl say that, i put on ebc greenstuff, last year july. Not to sure of milage but here goes.

 

I drove from here to ROME. passed and did 6 laps of the nurburgring, Drove car back from ROME to here, went down to lemans, and back. And done Trax session. And generall driving aorund london to the tune of about 3000 miles, and i just replaced them so not to bad to be honest. and brake dust was better than normal

Well Warren, if I get half that amount of use out of them I will be a happy guy!!!. As I said in my last post the disc's and pads works fine. It's nice to have some confidence that the will car stop when I give it some stick.

 

Laterz

 

Simon H

Erm, what Warren describes does in no way mean you will stop on a penny if you give the car some stick. Didn't you see him at Trax and the Nurburgring

 

Maybe he should take his Metro to the 'ring this time

 

Andy

I realise that M8!!!just stating that they are a vast improvment on the shit that was on my car!!
