Trough Lolly Member 4,349 Member For: 20y 4m 20d Gender: Male Location: Mildura Posted 01/11/06 05:09 PM Share Posted 01/11/06 05:09 PM I know its brake debarcle 391 but I went 4 pages back and read through a few posts and still didnt get a clear answer..Whats a good pad to run with the stock size brakes? ive upgraded to DBA slotted all round but the front pads(stock) just fade REALLY quick after a high speed squirt and a hard push on the stoppers.Im after something that doesnt need a great deal of heat to get working, yet sumthing that's great for everyday street driving with NO squeel but with hard bite on application with bugger all fade, something that doesnt need repetitive braking to get working to their best! a few site favs seem to be:Bendix UltimatesFerodo letters and numbers bla blaand the EBC red/greens.what ebc pad would be more suited to my use of the 2 EBC's, isnt the RED a more track day suited pad of repeatable braking?any more comments or pads to list go for it!

Call race brakes in sydney as they are replacing the standard factory pad used on the 4 spot brembos with the hawk and it's much much cheaper.

Im using greens and have no complaints... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
