Any 1 tried the ebc blue stuff brake pads? As looking to change mine as fed up of them sqeeking, wot r people using???

 

Lots!
Recently swapped my Ferodo DS2500's for Bluestuff NDX's and I prefer them. They work immediatly from cold and seem to require slightly less push for a given retardation. Haven't been on track with them yet, though.

Where did u buy erm from as can't seem to find any 1 with the bluestuff in stock

At the moment I've got red stuff, but they squeak like mad, do the mintex squeak? If their not hot

ILL TELL YOU TOMORROW FITTING THEM IN THE MORNING

 

Wot the orange stuff?
As like i said I have the red stuff and they squeak like mad, striped them down cleaned all the dust etc and 2 weeks later squeaking again! So they need to go, and yea b intrested to know wot the mintex r like.

 

Ferodo DS2500's, not so good when cold but once warmed up they stop well.

 

EBC Redstuff seem to be ok but haven't been on a track day yet so will probably be cooked in no time!!

 

I have yellow stuff on my bug , no problems when cold

 

i'm using ebc bluestuff pads find them ex even from cold no noise either

 

Performance Friction Z rated pads all round, with PF 2 piece discs on the front!
Work well from cold, then get better & better when warm/hot!
No squeal AT ALL!!

Only for daily fast road use, no track work as yet!

 

Mintex all round for me too.

 

Could you use complete words?

txtspk doesn't go down well on the site

Cheers

 

My mintex dont squeal. Ive got dimpled and grooved discs all round too.

 

mintex all round, no problems or noise.

 

Blue stuff on AP 4 pots good bite from cold.

 

Blue stuff front and rear. Awesome on the sprints but still go off on track days.

 

carbotec xp12 best pad i have used

 

It`s a shame that it`s becoming more frequent too, usually on which dump valve threads

 

Heard good things about these pads, wonder if they do them for the alcon kit.

 

I've been using bluestuff NDX pads for around 18 months now and I think they are excellent. Good bite from cold, ridiculous stopping power when warm and on track I have never experienced any fade. I am using them with Ksport 8 pots on a nice light classic so I'm not sure what they'd be like with stock subaru calipers or on a newage.

 

Carbotec on mine. Good bite from cold. Dusty and make slight squeaky noise especially when cold.

On exactly the same setup, I found these good on track, but I would rather strongly question your good from cold opinion.
I used to gently left foot break for the first few hundred yards or so - otherwise, rather wooden IMO.

 

+1 you have to definately get some heat into them to get them to bite hard,there not to good from cold,but when there hot thats a different story simply superb.

 

I am running factory Subaru pads and discs at the moment and had some pretty major fade at Bedford Autodrome GT Circuit today (especially after the 1km straight!) after 4 laps. What's my best bet for a budget upgrade for pads and discs to minimise this fade? Worth doing front and rear or just front? Also which makes the biggest difference? Pads or discs? My pads are low-ish (maybe 4mm left?) and discs aren't really worn.
Thanks!

 

Can't say i've noticed..DEFINITELY no need to left foot brake!
It's my daily drive & either end of my commute I have a bit of a run, both B road lane & duel!
I've never had to slam them on from cold, but they do get slight use.
I wouldn't say they were any worse than the OE pads from cold in what I have use for them!
But boy are they a massive improvement when warmed up and USED

 

im using tarrox discs and feredo ds2500 pads work perfect for me, squeaks a little but to stopping power is wicked!

 

Using the blue stuff pads and braketek discs and have found them pretty good.

Ive experienced a bit of fade after a few laps on the track.

But they are definetly value for money. A mate uses the ds2500 pad and on the same track he never experienced any fade..
