Where to purchase EBC Greens?

Hello, my rear brake indicator just went off so I'm looking at getting some new brake pads.

Anyone know where the cheapest place would be to get some EBC Greens?

I'm looking at waymotorworks and they're going for $166 for all 4. Is that a fair price?

If its for all 4 wheels, then that doesn't sound too bad. Each wheel has 2 pads (for the inner and outer sides of the brake disc).

Might want to check out ECS Tuning. I found that they have the best prices for EBC Redstuff pads, so if they carry the Greenstuff, they might be better priced.

having run red and green I recommend you go to the red. performance is similar, some say better but either way the reds are less dust. the green is better than OE but still has a little - reds virtually none on my 7

if there is a PEP Boys near you it may be worth a check - last time I was near one they carried EBC and then no shipping charges . .

OOPS just noticed your BC address

I believe WAY will no longer ship out of the country after having been burned a few times.

For most drivers, EBC redstuff pads are recommended over the greenstuff pads, do check your options before purchase.

If you have any questions check with Waymotorworks about the differences.

Thanks for the replies! I have a us shipping address so I can order from way no problem .

The reason why I'm leaning towards the greens is because I've heard that the reds will wear out the rotors quicker. I'm still on my original rotors (44k now) so I was thinking if I can get by with using greens with them and then the next time that i need new ones, i can go for the brake kit ( reds + rotors) from way motor works.

As a side note, I probably need new sensors as well right ?

The sensor has been consumed when it activates so you'll need to replace the rear if that's what happened. If the front did not trigger then it can be reused IF you are successful in getting the old one out of the pad - last time around I busted mine.

Do you find the sensors helpful? I don't so I did not replace them. I cut them back and soldered the two wire ends together. The car sees good sensors which will never trigger unless the wire breaks off . . . I know what to look for on the pads for wear and visually inspect routinely.
