GreenStuff Pads now crap?

[rctempire]

Had a good time with these and noticed the stopping was alright for the first 4K miles, but now i feel they are quite crap.

I hardly ever get a wheel lock and when i stamp on the brake i feel quite worried due to the fact they only slow the car down not emergency stop (as it would be).

I 100% wore the new disks and pads in properly heating up and cooling down, and didnt have any excessive braking in that 5K period at all.

Today i noticed they felt so soft and not worth much for the price i paid for them, i feel the standard Renault pads and disks that were on the car perform so much better.

Think ill need to bleed the system again to check everythings ok?

From what ive read in the past few months (replacing my discs and pads soon), Greenstuff pads are crap, And fade after initial hard braking. Also read that the OEM pads are better than them.

Ive only heard good stuff about ferodo and mintex.

May just invest in one of them sets then.

Anyone got a Supplier site for Ferodo or Mintex?

There is a group buy for the DS2500 atm but not 100% sure whats the latest. I think we are trying to sort things out with Yozza and get the ball rolling I need mine soon as I really hate my greenstuff pads! The rears are almost worn through!!

I had the Greenstuffs with Brembo HC discs and managed a couple of trackdays without any dramas - better then OEM IMHO.
I'm running same discs (although they've been replaced) and Redstuff pads now. I'd say these are much better then the greenstuffs - far lest dust and no brake fade, although I'm yet to test them on track.
