Green stuff pads gotta love em

[krisbutler02]

replaced with ds2500s and brembo max discs

how dogey is this lol

 

[sideways danny]

seen that happen a lot with EBC pads, yet people still insist they're an "upgrade"

 

[Bluebeard]

I had a set that crumbled like cream crackers.

On a Rover 218vvc coupe iirc.

 

[krisbutler02]

my ds2500s have had less than 10 miles bedding in and there beter than these green stuff crap

 

[DannyR]

Depends how hard you use them. My DS2500's are crumbling like mad!

 

[krisbutler02]

had ds2500 in my brembos on the ibiza cupra and they were awsome lasted ages

 

[Pryor]

DannyR, get your self some pagids!

 

[Hainesy.]

oops ! my car came with green stuff pads, defo need changing then.

 

[krisbutler02]

after this ill never use any ebc stuff again

 

[the_prophet]

everytime a post comes up about pads, i say this and people still come on and try and defend them saying there an ok pad. there not. there s**t. they dont work any better than standards and they fall apart.

i don't know why there's so much trouble with Greenstuffs (got throught three sets on my last car and quite liked them), but they're probably best avoided due to all of this variation

 

[krisbutler02]

i think they used to be ok , had a few sets in the past (years ago)

maybe now made in china or somwhere like that

 

[Henry]

they're made in Bristol actually!

someone i know knows someone within, who'll apparently 'procure' them, but i've not had any from him yet

i wouldn't use them if i was paid TBH. FAR worse than budget cheapo pads. anyone who thinks they're acceptable doesn't use the car to the level of needing anything but standard

i've given them a few chances over the last 10 years, and they're been crap from the word go

 

[richy22]

I had EBC on mine when I did FCS last year and they were rubbish! Were even rubbish on normal driving. I would sturggle to stop down the bottom of Tesco Hill (dannyr you'l know where I mean)

Changed to standard mintex and I feel like im actually going to stop now

some people seem to have bother and others don't. mine were used on road and track/sprint in a 205

 

[sideways danny]

I ran them in a 205, couldn't get across Milton Keynes without fading to nothing, pedal was to the floor on the 4th roundabout. £9 pads from a factor and total confidence restored

 

[Henry]

it's weird there's so much variation in experience

 

[.Kev.]

Exact same thing happened to me, material came away from back plate. Never touched them since.

 

[Coby.]

Got them on at the moinute and definitely not an upgrade.....As said I'd not put them being any better than OE Pads

Looking to change for DS2500's or Pagid's

 

[steviet]

The guys on passionford seem to rate them..... Maybe different pads suit different cars??? Cant see how, but just a thought....

 

[Fred@BTM]

we run EBC blue's on all the lambos and they're fine

 

[Scrooge]

mine lasted 10000 miles before breaking up. suffered severe fade aswell after one stop from any speed above 60 they were too hot. and when cold they were utter trash

 

[172Ben]

ran EBC red stuff, were s**t until warm, and even then not brilliant.

 

[Chesh]

I have EBC greens on my valver, they survived fcs track time last year and have suffered quite a few 'spirited' drives and not had a problem.
