Group Buy : EBC Greenstuff Brake Pads

Dinlo mentioned something to me about a group buy on these pads and I was wondering if anyone had some more information about it.

WHo would be interested in this?

I bought the front EBC Green Stuff in anticipation of replacing my front pads, but after the 25k mile servicing, I was told that I still have 75% pad capacity left.

dpilgrim drove 100k miles on his original brake pads. How'd he do it? He said he downshifted his gears a lot, and most of his driving was highway type.

I downshit alot and im sure it saved my pads some, but after 20k miles and pretty regular mountainous driving my pads need changing soon.

what kind of prices are you looking at on the ebc stuff? We did a group buy a while back and I found a killer deal. it was almost $20 less than anywhere else for the pads, the rotors were a good discount also.

I am not sure what my pricing is currently on these parts but if there is enough intereste I will be more than happy to check what the current price is.

Confucious say, it is much better to downshit than to upshit.
