Level 7 Boss Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Ladies and gents. Would like to lean on you for some advice. Recently purchased Black Diamond discs from cs, would like to supplement these with new pads. Narrowed the choice down to: Ebc yellowstuff Ferodo 2500 Black Diamond pads I've done a search and all have favourable reviews. No plans to track but may go on an advance driving day in the future. Recommendations? Quote
Suits Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Pads seem to be a preference between drivers, I rate the DS2500, some don't. It's all about how you drive and where and when you want performance. Have you uprated your fluid or lines yet ?? 1 Quote
Paddy78 Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Black Diamond would be fine if not tracking. Probably not as good as the others, but cheaper. I've had no problems stopping with the BD Disc and Pads combo, including some spirited driving round the Evo Triangle earlier in the year. Quote
Level 7 Boss Posted September 9, 2013 Author Posted September 9, 2013 Not sure what fluid is in the car now, but will flush and user Motul rbf, and buy some Hels too. Hoping to head down to Japex to get the work done. Quote
Neilp Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 I run yellowstuff on road and track and they're great pads. Cs can sort a cracking deal on them usually compared to online prices. Drop him a message 1 Quote
Jp606 Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) I use BD discs and the pads that go with them. Work really well for normal use as well as 'fast road' use. I'll be using them on the track soon so will see what they are like then, but I've got no worries about them under performing. Edited September 9, 2013 by Jp606 Quote
bpmjames Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Im running yellow stuff on the road, they're brilliant but quite dusty! 1 Quote
ChrisB Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Yellowstuff - brilliant all rounders, very positive hot or cold. Braided lines for around £70 are a great upgrade too. 1 Quote
Level 7 Boss Posted September 9, 2013 Author Posted September 9, 2013 Edging towards Yellowstuff, Hels and some Motul. Cheers guys. Quote
Neilp Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Are u gonna be doing track days? If so go with RBF660 if not go with RBF600 Quote
Level 7 Boss Posted September 9, 2013 Author Posted September 9, 2013 Might do an advanced driving tutorial, assume it'll be tough on the brakes, should I opt for the 660. Is a higher boiling point the only difference? Quote
Neilp Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Might do an advanced driving tutorial, assume it'll be tough on the brakes, should I opt for the 660. Is a higher boiling point the only difference? it has a much higher wet boiling point is what you need to keep an eye on. I've heard of people boiling 600 but I've not heard of any with 660. It will be a big challenge to do that! Quote
Jp606 Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 Unless you are doing a large amount of track days a year then I'd stick to 600. The extra cost for little improvement isn't worth it from what I've researched. Also found out the 660 absorbs more moisture than 600 so needs more regular flushing. Quote

Not true as the higher boiler point compensates for this. This is the reason for a term called wet boiling point. Quote

Level 7 Boss Posted September 11, 2013 Author Posted September 11, 2013 Cheers guys. Next step is to get another pair of Black Diamond discs and complement with some Yellowstuff. Not even sure what discs and pads are on there at the minute lol Quote
Jp606 Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 You will notice a big improvement, the BDs stop very well. Can't wait to get my HEL brake lines on to improve it even further Quote
