Guest Guests Posted 21/01/07 05:35 PM Share Posted 21/01/07 05:35 PM See below206_00_Brake_System___General_Information.pdf 206_03_Front_Disc_Brake.pdf 206_04_Rear_Disc_Brake.pdf Regarding Brake pads, I've been often told that EBC 'GREEN STUFF' is a great product, especially when matched with the DBA Rotors. See Below.EBC V4 'Green Stuff'Im sure there are other products out there and Im interested to know what other pads are being used to good effect.D.

Gave up and drank beer.I was gettin 2 tyres fitted the next day and rang the guys to see how much it would cost to get it done....$80 for fitting two front rotors(DBA4000) and pads....I thought I can get cleaned up and drink more beer or get back under the car and get covered in more black sh1t, battling with the bolt and maybe still get nowhere.Best $80 bucks ever spent.

Get a bit more leverage this way then they should come off.I had to hang off mine when I took them of to paint the calipers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Below.<div class='bbimg'></div>EBC V4 'Green Stuff'I've been told the complete opposite and DBA themselves said Greenstuff f@$k the rotors and wouldn't warrant them. Ferodo DS 2000 are the way to go for a great street pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
