Quick Brake Pad ?

[redrob0108]

Time to renew pads so my questions is fit bembo or pay bit extra for greenstuff about £40 more
LC 180 some fast road/motorway but not mad(showing my age) some clear advice needed

I would personally stay away from ebc had to many friends now that have had ebc whether it be green yellow or red and they have all had trouble with them disintegrating. And one actually had the pad material fall completely off. If its the cheaper end of the range you want I would stick with the brembo.

or stick it in the search. Pads are a big topic on here.

Cheers, Have read through lots of posts and just confused myself with all the choices,did read that original are good as they are..so was it really worth looking elsewhere

For normal ish driving standard or oe quality will be fine.

Pagid pads are more than up to the job.

either stay OEM or go ferrodo.
green stuff pads are poor IMO

 

[gdjohny]

brembo pads
hawk pads
omp pads

I put a set of Brembo discs & pads on mine - rear - and for £39 you can't argue with that
I have EBC Ultimax discs & DS 2500 pads on front, just for info

How do you rate them? Was thinking of that combo in the near future.

For normal driving they are too much but if you do a lot of fast driving & hard braking they are the dogs B's
You have to get them warmed up before you see any great benefits

Exactly why I changed my set up lol. I had the ebc grooved and ds2500s and it was a bit overkill for my use. The pads ate my discs as well strangely enough. Got ebc turbo discs and pagid pads now which is perfect, saves me over £100 a set of pads as well.

Can ye remember roughly how much yer current serup cost?

 

[big eck]

I paid £150 for the discs (got them brand new off a guy on ed38) and £35 for the pads from ECP.

Pagid or pagid RS if you drive it stupidly hard.
