Boylo99 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Need new front pads but undecided wether to go ebc redstuff or greenstuff? Quote
Keri-WMS Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Or DS2500? ;) If you're sticking with EBC I'd go for Red, Green is fast road for lower power cars, Red is 200+bhp fast road. Quote
Boylo99 Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 Ds2500?? Im running about 170ish so better to go for red you rekon? Quote
morgey Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 What use does the car get? Daily or common fast road/light track work?I found the yellows better than the greens if some spirited driving was involved but i think id opt for a different brand like mintex 1144 or 1155 or ferrodo ds2500's if its anything more than a road car.

Boylo99 Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 Ahh the ferodo ones bit puta my price range ;) Quote
Boylo99 Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) Used as a daily mainly so some boring driving but gets some abuse after i finiah work Edited February 27, 2015 by Boylo99 Quote
aaddzz123 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Green stuff are probably only a little better than a normal replacement pad, however don't give off as much brake dust. Yellow stuff are the next set and speaking from experience they are fantastic. Red stuff are the next step which I would like to try but haven't yet. The pads you wabt depend entirely on how you're going to drive. If it's a daily and you just drive like a normal person then stick with green stuff. Of you're going to drive hard occasionally then you would benefit from the yellow and if it's a track slag I'd give red a go.Just remember that the yellow stuff require heat to work, which is why some people don't like them. Not always ideal for road use. Red stuff require even more heat to work which is why again, a lot of people don't like them for road use... But once they're warm they're very good. Quote
aaddzz123 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Edit, they still work when cold by the way haha. Just not very well. Quote
Boylo99 Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 Ahh so yellow are invetween green and red ? I thought yellow was above red lol ! Yeah want decent brakes and it does get a fair bit of abuse !! Quote
Keri-WMS Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Nope. EBC Green (slow) fast road.EBC Red (200bhp+) fast road/trackdayEBC Yellow extreme fast road/trackday/raceEBC Blue endurance raceEBC Orange funny new race/trackday compound ...in that order.... Quote
Boylo99 Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) Ahh thats a helpful chart id say red were the best then yellow may be a bit too much as it has had no track action yet lol 👍👍👍👍 Edited February 27, 2015 by Boylo99 Quote
aaddzz123 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Well fuck me haha! I thought yellow was before red. My bad. Red may be better for road use then . I personally loved the yellow. It was satisfying feeling them brake much harder After giving it more rather than fade. Quote
Boylo99 Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) Yeah me too lol i went for red in the end so il have red all round see how they go i guess Edited February 27, 2015 by Boylo99 Quote
AdamB Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Redstuff chew through discs so keep an eye on it. Would have opted for Mintex 1144 if on a budget. Quote
