Brembo HC's and EBC Greens on!

[Ollie82.]

Just finished doing the changeover and i have to say that was pretty darn easy to do.

Handy having all the tools and a proper lift ramp but even doing it on a driveway would be pretty straightforward.

Now just to bed them in....handy having a disused bit of industrial road near where i work. Spot on for bedding in new brakes :evil:

 

[Dan R]

Not greens :dapprove:

 

[Dan R]

only kiddin

 

[davejm123]

let me know what you think mate!

 

[Graham Gooch]

I have the same setup Ollie.

I like it to be honest, much improved over standard for me

 

[Ollie82.]

Well i've barely taken the top layer off the discs but they already feel good.

Gonna give it a run out tonight and put them thru a proper heat cycle.

 

[davejm123]

you love an excuse to go for a drive

 

[Ollie82.]

Too right i do! After the recent improvements its right in a sweet spot....i can't get enough of it!

Good timing as well!

 

[jimbo666]

interesting to hear what you think to these. ive got a set in the garage waiting to be put on

 

[Ollie82.]

Well standby...by the end of play tonight i should have a verdict for you!

 

[jimbo666]

eeeeeexcellent

 

[nathanH]

get some lines on there too, massive difference

 

[Ollie82.]

Well i've heard they don't make a great deal of difference, so i didn't bother.

The standard lines are pretty beefed up anyway and i'm not overly keen on a rock hard brake pedal.

 

[Djw John]

Cool Im looking into this combo as well for when the time comes, where did you get it and how much if you dont mind?

 

[Fred@BTM]

Well i've heard they don't make a great deal of difference, so i didn't bother.

which mong told you that! they make the biggest difference LOL!

on standard braking? Or on track/fast road fade?

 

[Butler205]

to pedal feel and responsiveness, not fade.

I have just fitted some yellows feel better already.

 

[Fred@BTM]

just in general, the pedal is a lot firmer

 

[Ollie82.]

No 'mong' in particular actually.
As i said, im not overly keen on a rock hard pedal, and being a Cup, im pretty sure the likelyhood of me locking it up under hard braking is more of a possibility if it has barely any pedal travel.

Also the car won't be tracked so its not imperative.

 

[davejm123]

i'm guessing steve's probably had them done? might ask him at the next meet!

 

[Matt 16v]

I've got this setup too, along with stainless lines too, they are very good

 

[RichMcc]

I went out in Timsclio172's car whos got that exact setup (I think) and I fudged my nickers big time! I think he did too, we had a blast in mine then he did the same in his and woah brown stains all round!
I was running tarox setup & standard lines and had mucho more stopping power...

 

[Nebdingo]

Same setup with Braidedlines.

Much better "feel" with better stopping!! can't fault it.

(normal day to day driving with NO track use)

 

[Ollie82.]

Well they got well and truly bedded in tonight. Took the Cup across from Woking to Weybridge with a few short dual carriage "chutes" along the way that were near enough deserted so i gave it beans and then threw the anchors out near enough as late as i'd dare.....

F**K ME!!! Nearly gave myself a seatbelt induced injury....the stopping power is now stunning...
The second time i tried it i actually locked everything up for a brief moment as my usual point of reference for threshold braking was obviously miles off as i was used to the old setup.

A superb braking set up in my opinion.

 

[john182rs]

this is the kit that im looking at doing for the next group buy, just incase anyone like fred/andy from yozz or any other person that can supply this kind of brake set up some one pm what deal you can do.

 

[Ollie82.]

Well just so you know, i got the EBC Greens off of Ebay on a Pay Now for £49 inc p+p and the Brembo HC's from GDI for £71, so you can easily get this setup for £120.

Obviously if you want braided lines then you'd pay more but i still stand by my view that they aren't vital.

Always pays to shop around....you'll pay less than you think.

 

[Graham Gooch]

Woking, Weybridge etc Your only down the road from me! lol

I've never spotted you though

 

[Ollie82.]

I know mate! I actually live over Guildford way but im over Woking and Weybridge way quite a bit.

You should come along to the meets coming up...there is Westerham on the 29th then the Run to Brighton on May 6th.

 

[Graham Gooch]

29th is a possibility, can't attend the 6th
