Nathan,

The new compound EBC pads are a great improvement over the previous pads. I believe there is also a new generation of grooved disk available now as well.

You have PM

Cheers



Iain

EBC have instructed dealers not to supply Green Stuff for Turbo Impreza's as they are not up to the job.

I found this out via a mate who cooked a set of new Greens on a Civic Type R and then rang EBC to complain. They said that heavier cars with 200 bhp+ should run Red Stuff. He only had the Green Stuff on for 1 week when they stopped working due to being cooked and this altering the compound structure.

Been running red stuff pads since last nov, outstanding track performance and good road performance but you do have to wait for them to warm up a tad 1st.
