Looking to upgrade my gb270 break pads as disks seam ok. What would people suggest only askin because my car went for test drive by a reaper but would not say what type?

 

I would reccomend EBC Blue NDX or orange. Sorry i don,t understand your second sentence??

 

Performance friction brake pads are very good.

 

Don`t understand the question, what are break pads?

 

LOL
I can understand that bit but what does the second sentence mean?

 

Blue oyster cult fan ??

Sorry if I'm being thick but what does "test drive by a reaper" mean?
Is it some kind of ghostly figure?

 

I`ve sussed it. He posted with a mobile using predictive text....he means a dealer

 

That's some fine detective work there mate.

Viau seems srtonge

 

I`m bored

 

Hes right predictiv text it was.... what was trying to say is they where a tuning company and wanted tobsell an expensive exhaust system but said car would def be better with new performance break pads but wen i asked wich ones they wud not say.. thanx all so far.. so which is the best who makes and sells the orange ones?

 

Ebc are a common choice.EBC blue stuff pads or orange stuff will both work great.




Danny.

 

+1 These are very good pads

 

Yeah EBC are cracking brake pads.

 

Personally I stick with Ferrodo DS2500's

 

But aren't they a bit 'old hat' now( I've used them in the past and they were great pads admittedly) and I believe they're getting harder to get hold of too :-(

 

I've got EBC Orange stuff and they sh*t all over the DS2500 I had on there before.

 

Try Carbotech XP8's. Awesome pads just a little dusty

 

Shouldn't the DS2500s be compared with Blue and DS3000 with Orange though?

 

Sorry to sort of hijack this thread, but would the abovementioned pads be ok with my current oem discs? They have plenty of life but my pads are due for a change and I want a bit more bite!

 

Ive got ebc blue stuff with oem discs (06 sti) and there fine mate

 

really?? maybe i should check our shipmeents more reguarly....................LOL

as for "old hat" they have been around a little while but that just shows how "right" they got it first time and i have yet to get any complaints about inconsistency in batches as seem to be the case with 'other' manufacturers pads.........

I wasn`t sl@gging them off, as I said I`ve used them and I rated them highly it`s just now, as technology moves on...there`s better out there

 

I've used Kevlars as supplied by Godspeed - great pads for road/fast road but don't resist fade on track, Red stuffs (terrible), Blue stuff (rears only) which were OK but faded badly - the only pads I've ever replaced like for like were the DS2500s they last well and don't fade at Brands (20min sessions) or the Ring (back to Back laps) admittedly the fronts on mine are AP 4 pots on 330mm rotors the rears are std WRX 2 pots (2002 bug)

Performance pads will work fine with OEM discs and it is an effective way of increasing bite.

Two things to look out for though are some pads can leave deposits on the disc which results in brake judder, and flat faced discs (as opposed to grooved or dimpled) are more likely to cause pad glazing.

 

Thinking of EBC Red Stuff myself.Anyone have them fitted.

 

Im using ds2500 pads with 40 groove discs and its like hitting a wall when you stamp on the peddle and they work great from cold and better hot I cant fault em and will buy them again

 

Got to say i have ds2500 on now and dont like them at all i will be going back to mintex 1155 . Never had a problem with these and highly rate them , each to their own . Red stuff i found massive brake fade on a spirited run wouldnt go near them again.
