stay away from EBC green stuff. They will eat your rotors and they won't last too many days on the track. I'm running the Euro X from Endless and I'm more than happy with them. No fade at wakie and don't need heating up on the street. No squeeling and no problems with excessive brake dust.... but I don't really care about that. Bad point is.. they do cost and arm and a leg. IMO your better off with Ferodo Ds2500.. its a good meduim.

Ferodo Ds2500 ay.... do u know where can i find them and aproximate how much?

hm.. I forgot.. but I think my friend with a clio sport got them for about 300 for a whole set... front and back.. should be around the same price. I'll post up tomorrow when I get in touch with him.

wow that sounds like a good price... read a few review of them.. overall pretty good.... thx mate... appreciate it

I've been running the Ferodo DS2500s on track and street - been very happy after loosing brakes on the track with a set of Pagids... Mallala is particularly hard on brakes.

As good a cross over pad (the Ferodos) as you can expect I reckon. Where around $200-220 from memory for a front set on the CRX.

no such thing as good for street + Track.

if you want something just nice to brake on street, get temperature in between 50c - 400c.
If you want Something Hardcore on the Track, Remember, Slotted Disc, braided hose and good brake oil is a must. get 200c - 600c...this are real Race pads, and extreamly dangerous on street...

i think is best to have 2 sets of brake pads....

i had endless sss on my astina for track and its a good street and track pad.. and its not that expensive either... i got it frmo centrax in brisbane for $300

but for what you need its pretty good coz civics are light so will pull up pretty good.

If you have 200-600C pads on the track with stock discs, you're going to be causing warpage/cracking and eating very quickly into the discs as racing pads are usually semi-metallic.

so would u say the Ferodo DS2500s would be ok with the stock disc? i want some decent braking power without spending too much ... hopefull something thats alrite to run on street as well... i know i m askin abit too much ... but all these ll deepend on $$ ... i can always run on my bendix for st use if i have to ...
thx guys

my brother runs the DS2500's on the street in his GSR, they are fine with stock disks and stop well. Havent tracked the car yet though so cant comment on that side of things (although i hear they are a excellent track pad for something is really in between street and track).

Had some endless track pads in the front before that without realising (came with some brakes with put on the front), they were dangerous on the street...the car basically didnt stop unless you had the brakes toasty hot!
