Idrees Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Let them settle in.I had Mintex on my old GT, they were awesome. Changed to Yellow Stuff and they were terrible.I had Green Stuff on my Glanza with 3G discs, they are superb. Quote
Guest ep82_girl Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 green stuff have been on since july and dont work from cold xx Quote
Nanglebadger Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 they never work from cold the Green stuffs, need to warm up, very common JoJo.Phil. Quote
Guest ep82_girl Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 lol i dont want ones you need to warm up i want them to work from the word go! lolxxx Quote
Spanner Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 intersting thread,im looking for some new pads as well as my standards are getting really low!always had brake fade for the time ive had the car.any good reccomendations and prices? Quote
Guest ep82_girl Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 still havent decided yet!!!i do awesum threads see spanner lolxxx Quote
Keri-WMS Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Erm.......right, in order from road to full race:EBC Greenstuf = "fast road" but I hate them, don't work until you get them hot then they suddenly get some bite, I kept locking one or other front wheel early! They also "feel soft" so you can't stand of the pedal as hard, might be an illusion due to them being lame when cold.EBC Redstuff = "very fast road / trackday", these are better from cold than the greens, withstand more abuse than the greens and are more predictable than the greens. For like 10% more, so don't bother with greens. We have a full race V8 TVR guy who runs Reds with slicks and has never overheated them. 99% of kits I sell to all sorts of people have Reds.EBC Yellowstuff = "full race", I havn't used them but lots and lots of my more serious trackday / silly BHP customers have, and they are better than Reds but take a bit more warming up.EBC Bluestuff = "full race endurance", long distance stuff, not applicable at all.Mintex = More expensive, like Ferodo but not as good value as EBC for the same spec.My suggestion is EBC Reds, not sure about the rear though as EBC don't seem to offer Reds for the back...?

Guest ep82_girl Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 dont need anything for the rears just the fronts. the car will never be raced or used for tracks xxx Quote
Keri-WMS Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 dont need anything for the rears just the fronts. the car will never be raced or used for tracks xxxIf it was me I would get Reds, or standard (EBC Black or even Gen Toyota) pads - not anything in between.Many motor factor cheap pads are not worth bothering with if you case about performance, but gen ones will be better in 99% of cases (and more expensive of course).

Guest ep82_girl Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 price aint an issue i just want good pads that work from cold, give a good bite and dont make loads of brake dust (i have white wheels)xxx Quote
Keri-WMS Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 price aint an issue i just want good pads that work from cold, give a good bite and dont make loads of brake dust (i have white wheels)xxxI'm pretty sure greens have about twice as much dust as reds, from memory.As for the dust, try TFR! (Traffic Film Remover - Comma stuff from memory) ...really pokey stuff, works well but needs washing off afterwards. Quote
Guest ep82_girl Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 thanxz hunni :-)im leaning towards ebc yellowstuff but ive heard about them falling apart+not at all impressed by greenstuff so that why i would go for mintex but i really don't know!have you used both pads? if so what you find best i gave groove front discs x x Quote

Russleh Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 just buy whatever you think and if they fall apart really quickly kick up hell and get money back and buy the others Quote
