Arran Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 Basically just before i put my order in for some new front and rear pads in the next few days i want to just double check whats about as im not sure ive uncovered all the different types i can get Basically at the moment im settled on EBC yellowstuff as theyve been great in the past for me, but looking around there doesnt seem to be an awful lot of choice for brembo calipers So far ive seen EBC red and yellow Hawk carbon Pagid RS Tarox Black diamond Endless Carbotech Ferodo Brembo Thats about it, is there any others or is that the lot to pick from?

MITZ@CougarStore Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 EBC Bluestuff that we also offer... 1 Quote
14N Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 I've seen Mintex, but no idea if they're any good. Sane kinda price as Brembo pads. Anyone? Quote
Arran Posted March 5, 2013 Author Posted March 5, 2013 Isn't the bluestuff the endurance pad not for road use? I've used Mintex in the past and didn't really like them, faded quickly with loads of dust Quote
Ekona Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 Brembo pads aren't very good, I wouldn't bother with those. YS are pretty effective, personally I loved the Performance Friction 97 compound on the front and Z compound on the rear. Quote
djti636 Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Which is the EBC race pad is it the RED? have them on my car from previous owner and doesnt suit my driving, looking to change for something with more immediate response. Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Red is road, the Yellows are fast road and many use them on track too... Quote
Wasso Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 I had Performance Friction Z compound all round, great pads on oem rotars, but the brake dust actually killed my Rays. So I now run DS2500 on the front with DBA rotors and the PF Z on oem rotors on the back. The DBA and DS pads are the same rating as the PF pads on oem rotors. But for me aesthetics of keeping my rims clean was a must. So the DS pads and DBA rotors was a win for me. Quote
djti636 Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Ok will have to take a closer look, whatever on there is shocking when not upto temp. zero initial bite Quote

Arran Posted March 20, 2013 Author Posted March 20, 2013 Ebc yellows have just turned up for me 1 Quote
Dblock Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Ds2500's are great but IMO they have 2 downsides. 1. They are proper dusty but I suppose that's to be expected. The other is that IMO oem and others including yellow stuff while not as strong they feel better. The ds2500s feel very on/off to me personally. Quote

You should try PF Z compound if you think they're dusty. For me DS's are a bit dusty but brake well. On/off normally denotes when your foot is on the brake pedal or not I guess it's all personal preference. Quote
