Guys
I have just bought pads which I have been told are EBC Greenstuff.My mehanic is not so sure.There are no markings of any kind on the pads and they did not come in a box.They are LIME green in colour.What have I bought??

I guess if they're lime green there's a good chance they're Green Stuff?

If they don't fit then they're definitely Green Stuff (mine didn't without some 'work')!

Kurt ,
Sounds familiar - I fitted a set last week and had to remove a layer of green paint and black stuff from the contact points before they would fit into the calipers .

Never heard of em so I'll just get my post count up.

Mmmm, I was thinking of trying these, how fiddly are they to fit, once fitted are they worth it ?

Andrew...

Green Stuff pads should fit without any probs.
I've never heard of the lads at TN having any problems either, and they've fitted dozens of sets.
Pads are all made to a generic shape, so it's hard to get it wrong.
Perhaps you had the wrong pads?

My greenstuff pads were fitted by me to go with EBC discs fitted at the same time. I suppose its possible they weren't the right pad - but they were almost right and therefore unlikely to fit anything else. Like 'Turbo7379', it seemed like they'd gone mad with the 'greenstuff' they coat them in.

I had a similar problem with EBC on an Elise - they needed about 2mm of friction material filing off each pad before they fit that time !

Alas

Had a set of Greenstuff fitted 2 weeks ago. Fitted perfectly.They come in 3 shapes so need the right ones. Meant to bed in after 50 - 100 miles but I've done 500 and still not got full disc coverage. Good grip though
