Liam_D Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Hey guys just a quick one for anyone using a big brake kit. Wms/Wilwood/Ksport etcc. Just wondering what pads you run and what you think to them.Im running Yellowstuffs at the minute and they squeek really badly, so looking for a replacement.ThanksLiam Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie1st Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Not a helpful reply, but how you finding the WMS's on Yellow Stuff, performance wise? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jayc-glanza17 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 WMS are the nuts fella, in my 275 forged glanza they stop me very quick, however ABS id bloody annoying with them...bk to the yellowstuff i am running them and they dont squeak..did you put the shims on the back of the pads???

Keri-WMS Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Good point, EBC normally supply stick-on rubber backing things - sometimes they are loose in the box (Yellows tend to be like that) and sometimes they are pre-stuck (Reds most often are like that)...but it does vary!

Jozinobi Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Ferodo DS500 are one of the best that WMS sell Liam.Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 WMS are awesome mate, cannot fault the kit at all, its just a squeeking which is beleived to be the pads. Shims and rubber backings where applied.Cheers Joz hearing good things about the Ferodo tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Ferodo DS500 are one of the best that WMS sell Liam.JozTake it you mean DS2500 Joz? If so yes, they're meant to be shit hot, not tried tem personally but will be when I finally get another wilwood setup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BoGlE Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Im using yellowstuffs in my hispecs. I havnt used the shims/ anti squeal pads and they arnt that noisey. Only squeal now and againg but i like it lol. Have you put and copper grease on them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 How many miles you done since fitting? Done any hard stops? My reds and new discs took some time to settle down Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BoGlE Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Duno if you aimed that at me but ill answer it haha .Probably done about 200 miles and every stop has being a hard one as there used on my track car. Sometimes they can squeal when burning the bedding in compound off or if your discs have got dirty. Such as oil or grease.Reds are a harder compund than yellow arnt they?

rorenapier Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Ferodo DS2500 are far better than any EBC shite.I run the 2500 in the Willwood setup and there great for track work, and even superb on the road. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jozinobi Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Take it you mean DS2500 Joz? If so yes, they're meant to be shit hot, not tried tem personally but will be when I finally get another wilwood setup. Yes I meant the DS2500's Wallace. I run them on my WMS as they were the top option at the time of buying. Very happy with them, seem a perfect match.Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 EBC Red = fast road/200bhp cars (according to EBC!)EBC Yellow and Ferodo DS2500 are road legal trackday pads...more or lessEBC Blue and Ferodo DS3000 are track ONLY pads.There's a world of pads out there to try in WMS calipers - I know someone running £150.00+vat Carbotechs in a WMS kit on a Starlet, they have a stonking reputation, up there with Pagid (but cheaper than Pagid!!!).
