Brake pads

i want to get some green stuff pads ,has any1 used them ???

Richie, last I heard they changed the compound formula for the greenstuff and most people I have talked to are not too impressed with it. If you can get old stock, then that would be the go.

Or maybe look at a set of Hawk/Ferodo DS2500 pads :?:

Lucas pad is not bad, they stop my car quite well, they are cheap too

i have dem on mine now...and well..dont really like em.

im going for bendix next...

I have used them on my S2000 and would advise anyone NOT to use them.

For a great uprated pad - try Bendix Ultimates: they are great on the road & track.

Cheers, :D

I am currently using Bendix Advance.. For what i paid im quite happy with them.

Jacob Chang in Melb used to deal with good pads. I think they are ART pads .. :?

I hear the Project U pads are good ...
again Tanghy knows his brakes.

i agreed with vti-2 ..go oem on the front :)

OEM good........?? A track day at QR in the G/F's Vti-R civic and I had to keep adjusting the way I was braking so as to minimise the cutting in of ABS.

Going Endless when finances permit.

Who said anything about using OEM pads on the track? I said that my front OEM pads have put up with a lot of hard driving. Doesn't mean i hit the track with them.

I personally wouldn't recommend using OEM pads of any sort on the track anyway.

Well, the OEM pads and the ABS system wasnt designed for track use anyway. So you have have the cherry and eat it too :wink:

I've actually used Bendix pads on my teg vtir a while ago. I forgot which model is it but generally I wasnt too impressed. I took it up to moutains for hard driving(about 20 - 25 mins) and by the time I came down, the brakes werent biting at all. Well they were still biting but you can feel the car sliding and non stoping well.. Could be the low end of bendix cos I wasnt there when the dude installed it.

race brakes rb74...??? heard they are good...

my fwens ran rb74 and say they were real good

dont know myself havent tried anything else really...

im still using my oem pads havent needed to change :lol:
