Ginger or Maryanne?

Velma or Daphne?

EBC Green or Ferodo DS2500?

I want to get rid of that soot on my wheels that seems to form if I even think of hitting the brakes. I also want to improve braking.

Jim, the EBC Green stuff pads will definitely help out your OEM pad dusting woes, however I would keep them away from the track, since they're not designed for it. I've overdriven my EBC Green pads on stock rotors a handful of times. You can tell because they start smoking and smelling really bad

Since you do Auto-X, my vote goes for the Ferodo's, they dust much less than stock, yet have much better grip than stock. A bit pricey, but hopefully worth it. Another consideration is Mintex pads, but I think they're more a value-concious purchase rather than all-out performance.

Cheers,
Ryan

 

Thanks Ryan! I remember the conversation about brakes but didn't know you had the greenies. I haven't driven the Mini's brakes to slag yet...

If anyone talks to Randy let him know I want a set! :smile: I'm doing my H-Sports (thanks honey!) on Friday or Sunday and since I'm under there I thought I'd hit the brakes too. (snort)

Hey! I made a funny!


Well maybe not.

"...hit the brakes..."
you did make a funny

 

The answers are:

Ginger
Velma

>>I would like to upgrade to Randy's Stage 1 kit (slotted rotors and Ferodo pads with good brake fluid)

Don't forget the DOT approved RED stainless steel Teflon lined brake lines x 4
And paint all four calipers after the upgrade- maybe purple. Or orange!

 

I have one step up from EBC Greenstuff.....which are EBC Redstuff.
I'm no expert...... but they stop real good and the brake dust is minimal.

Peace,
D

Dennis: the Redstuff pads are for some track use, so they may be a good option for jayoung too. They do take a bit to warm up to temp, whereas the Greenstuff's bite right away, but the Redstuff's will actually hold up on the track

 

Ryan is on the money!

Alex,

Do you have the greenstuffs pads at the tirerack?

 

Yes I do, Fronts $79 for the set, Rears $69 for the set. Both are in stock currently.

Well it sounds like I should go with the Ferodos unless I want to spend less and get the Reds?
