Are GREEN STUFF brake pads any good?

[weagie]

Got them on the front and all i can say is PISH! Never again, loads of brake dust despite the claims and dont feel any better than the OE pads. I have been told that the red pads are good and now more suited to raod use but i wont be using ebc again.

Just fitted Redstuff pads all round. Only been on for 10 days but they feel sharper, can't tell on the dust though 'cos of all the c**p on the roads down here. Trip to London for Chrimbo should tell though. Got Greenstuff on the ZR160 and they are O.K. Not brilliant, just O.K. No differance in the amount of dust though compared to the OE pads!

I have run on greens for a while and will need to change the fronts soon.

So Mintex the best way to go ??

I have ebc discs all round and geens also on the back

greens and red are useless. i can recomend yellows on the front, greens on the rear. its what i run anyhow. and even when i had my brakes on fire i had no fade lol

yellow require more time to heat up, most zs drivers use their car daily rather than a track car.

For a 180 zs i'd recommend ebc redstuff V3 new ceramic formula, thats what i use ( front and rear) and there is a good difference from standard mintex pads.


Used greenstuff on my zr with 620ti calipers and turbo groove discs - didnt find them bad at all, discs were too noisy tho.

Yellow stuff are more than fine if not as good as std when used first thing, iv been using them for 3 years now, and even when iv jumped in a std zs for a drive have not noticed it being any better at cold.

however when driven a little and warmed up as most cars warm up there brakes there bite is a lot better than std imo. and they last a long time too.

I use EBC Ultimax discs on the front and EBC standard discs on the rear with greenstuffs front and back and they performed very well on Brands, much better over OE imo.

Have had them on for a while now and it wasn't until the track abuse they are now feeling spongy, I'm thinking of going Red's or Yellows on the front this time

Aint the spongeyness summut to do with your brake fluid not the pads tho?

[stamford]

your fluid got hot therefore spongy, mine was the same for a day after, all back to normal now. It could do with a flush through mind.

ah thought so yay i was right for once lol
