[MarkZZZ]

Hi Guys,

 

I need to change the Rear Pads on my GT4.

 

What do you guys think of EBC Redstuff

 

All opinions welcome

go yellow or blue, red is worse than stock

[Ekona]

Green is worse than stock, red is stock, yellow is great, blue I've never tried.

 

 

Get the yellows, they're a much better choice

i remember mark saying when we fitted his AP calipers that he spoke to someone possibly a rep or something that had said the reds actually weren't as good as stock pads, and that yellow was better and blue better still (blue is a race pad)

 

greens are great for smaller cars with less weight and BHP but for the zed not up to it.

They've changed compounds since then, red is now OEM spec more or less.

bluestuff ngx are track only, ive used yellowstuff on road and track and they have been great. fantastic value for money.

The ebc website tells you about the different type of pads. The yellows are about as low rated as i would venture in their range.

 

Ive got a set of bluestuff ngx waiting to go on to review for a trader on here. Will be doing a logged report from fitting to running on road and track.

or get Mintex pads, had them for a while, very good, no noise and no loss of performance.

ferodo ds2500 are good for the price as well

I wouldnt just change the rears, the chances are the fronts will need done aswell but if you have a higher friction on the rear it will put the brake bias out

[DoogyRev]

I have Yellows at then moment, been pleased with them

[Ekona]

Good point. You can do the fronts over the rears, but not the rears over the fronts. You'll have to change them all I'm afraid.

bluestuff is the new ones and are advertised as a race pad, but alot of traders have been giving them out for feedback on other forums and the responce is that they are fine on street aswell.

As a pad they do the job they're designed for, they are good (I'm referring to the M1166). Could be a bit better IMO. They're also quite a mucky pad in terms of brake dust, so if you're not viligant with keeping rims clean they will make a mess. Price wise they're ok.

 

EBC Yellow seem to stand up to a reasonable pounding, and they're not a messy pad, less that a stock brake pad in terms of dust. All depends what you want to spend and what sort of performance you're after and if you're tracking/rallying or driving reasonably hard or not.

Ferodo's are good all round pad, street/track. My pick of these are the Ferodo's Mark. Based on the one's you guys have referred to that I have used or driven other friends 350's on.

Thanks Guys,

 

I'm also being told that ADL are also a good alround road use pad for the Z.

 

Anybody tried these?

 

Many thanks

not one i've really heard mentioned on here

[glrnet]

I've got Reds all round and they are fine, shoot me down if I'm wrong but didn't someone on here say that the Yellows were quite dusty?

[Neilp]

Yellows are less dusty than the oem brembo pads imo. I clean my car almost everytime i take it out so i dont really notice any build up to be honest.

[bounty78]

i had the redstuff on..TBH not notice any difference between that and the OEM pads performance. The redstuff is quite dusty though. Retrospectively i should have gone for the yellowstuff.
