[Day]

Brembo discs & EBC Greenstuff pads

£114 inc VAT

Good price?

 

[edde]

Try Yozasport I think ther e abit cheaper.
Disk are about £60
I'd get the ds2500s (£80) or the stock pads personally for £40 woulnd't bother with anyhting else unless you use it on very hard track work.

 

[Day]

Yoz is £123 and as my ABS cuts in far too easy now I can't risk not getting them sorted tomorrow.

This is the finalised setup, I dont need any other pad, been discussed to death lol.

[V1NNY]

dont get the ebc greenstuff mate, they are ok when warm etc but arnt too cleaver from cold or when you need them basicly, that remindes me i need to change mine lol

 

[Day]

Have you got the new ones Vinny?

The compound has just changed.

 

[edde]

ABS has nothing to do with the brakse sounds like you've other trouble if the abs keeps cutting in.

 

[Day]

Ok so the pedal felt ABS'esque

Or as Weeman would say Nothing nothing nothing nothing stop nothing ditch... lol

 

[fizzy_drink]

The greenstuff ones won't last very long - ask MarkCup, he's had a pair.

AFAIK, they'll stop you quite sufficiently though!

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Had greenstuff pads and discs on my PUG 306 , the pads do wear down quick but other than that no problems with em , plus you get fcuk all brake dust on your wheels

Where did you order them from Day ? And for what car ??

Yeah but have you seen the on track mileage he does... I'm not Mark

172/182 Gsf

Are the megane pads and discs the same as the 172/182 ??

I know when i got some front pads and discs for my old 172 they were the same as the lagunas .

 

[Day]

Yes, I know what you are refering to, the GSF part numbers are the same and I took the part number from the disks fitted on a friends 182.

Just checked on ebc's website , yeah they are the same discs and pads , fcuk me though they are hell of alot cheaper on gsf than ebc's site .

Nice one mate

 

[V1NNY]

yeah got the new compound and there not very good, my old mintex ones on there last legs were better

What don't ya like about em Vinny ? I was thinkin of gettin some for my 182 when these are knackered .

 

[Day]

I've heard good stuff about the new pads and to be fair they are cheap as chips, plus I dont want to be cleaning my wheels every 3 days like all my mates with PF97 and DS2500's!

 

[MRBILLYUK]

I've heard good stuff about em too . I never had a problem with the old pads though on the Pug , only thing i did find on the Pug was that the disks warp alot easier than standard disks.

 

[V1NNY]

bite from cold is pretty poor, you need to stamp on the pedal

 

[TVO]

ds2500's don't give off brake dust like the PF97's. On heavy track work I do get some brake dust from my ds2500's but nothing that a quick wipe over the wheel won't fix, and on the road I've never had any brake dust problems.

I used the new compound EBC green on my old track 205. Definitely rate them, although they do seem to wear quickly!!

No problem, I like to warm the car up by swerving and pumping the pedal on the way to work :evil:

 

[Clart]

I have the new green stuff pads and brembo discs. Seem to work pretty well for me but I have got new calipers too!

 

[Iain C]

i thought greenstuff where a bit turd?
Let us know how you get on with em day.

 

[thedoc]

I've got the new greenstuff with Brembo discs..
Greenstuff dont bite as well from cold as OEM's, but then when they're a bit warmer they're miles better than OEM's with slightly less dust.
I'm happy with them.

 

[MarkCup]

I've never run EBC - green or any other colour.

The pads I had that were proper shite were Tarox Fast Road & Track - one trackday, 1,500 miles, almost down to the metal, with cracks running through the pad material.

 

[Neil G]

I've run EBC greens on OE discs with good results but the EBC discs were c**p.

 

[DARKO]

Not tried the new compound greenstuff but the old ones were fine for fast road stuff.

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

DS2500's all the way, mine have been on for 3 trackdays one of which the ring over about 8 months and still have loads left in them. Good when cold and even better when hot and they don;t make much mess either.

They're spot on Day.
