Hi i have just burnt out a set of red stuff pads in 25 miles on very windy roads is this normal or should i try and make a warrenty claim against ebc

I'd done gentle running in for 150 miles then blew them away in 75 miles on track, and I'm by no means a heavy driver.

I let it slide at the time as I hadn't had any other experience of performance pads, but have subsequently had no problems with other pads. I'd chase them down, but be careful as it sounds as though you didn't follow the bedding in instructions....

 

Ferodo DS2500 is the way to go.

ssubaru, that's good going But not unheard of. But what do you guy expect from a set of cheap pads? Don't buy a fast car and then try to run it like a Fiesta.

Warranty claim? You mean you want them to give you another set ?

Best regards,

Richard.

 

Sounds about right for EBC, I agree that Ferodo or Mintex are the way to go. I use ll55 Mintex and they last extremely well, even after some very heavy use.

 

EBC Greens are OK on a small car like a Puma for the road but that's about it for EBC.

Why dont you try the well tested Pagid RS42 pads, cost a bit more but you do get what you pay for, the asme goes for the Ferodo DS2500 pads.

Hi guys tried the pagid full race pads yesterday ,cost nearly £200 bucks they seem impressive but the best bit it the girlfriend phoned me at work and asked what i had done to the brakes so i said only changed pads so then she says **** me when i pushed them i nearly went through the window so they must be good if a bird is saying so
