[Euro] Brake pad replacement

[aaronng]

This page is good for brake pad info. You can even ask how much wear a rotor will have from a specific pad model.

Very Interesting to see some of the comments regarding the brake pads on the Euro. I have done 43k in my car & I have had the front disc's machined once already (under warranty) at 25k & at the last service, 42k, have had new front rotors & pads replaced also under warranty.
Has anyone else had any issue's with the front disc's warping???? Before you ask, the car really only gets used around town & does not get thrashed. As yet Honda have not replied as to the cause.

No warping on mine, but I can feel deep grooves in my front rotors.

Endless make good street pads which are low dust / noise.

How did u manage to get it done under a warrenty job after 25k? I thought discs are perishable items?!? Suprised they didn't blame you on hard riding ur brakes!
Well, thats wat happened to my old car (Astra) had my brakes replaced and 3 days later it started to warps!! they wouldn't fix it saying it was ME who stuffed it up! i was so unhappy that I sold it straight away!

Ok guys

EBC greenstuff on front and back.

Still within that 300km break in period. So i cant really comment on performance yet but it generally as good if not better than OEM.

Also had my discs machined nice and new

Front $195.00
Rear $145.00

Minor part of the fronts had to be modified to fit.

Hey!

Are you talking about the front EBC pads? I machined some bits off the front pads when I couldn't get them to fit in the calipers... I used a belt sander to grind off two protruding bits on the pads..

Yes. Mine were grinded off.

For those people worried - the brake compound isnt modified, only the extra housing (?) which doesnt exist on the OEM brakes.

Mano.

I can vouch for that!

EBC Greenstuff review.

OEM > EBC Greenstuff.

Everyday driving

Equal to OEM if not poorer street stoppage. You expect these to stop a little better since they are aftermarket.

Can you say brake dust ? my rims are black (i dont mind it , but others might). Easy to clean though.

Spirited driving

Can you say brake fade ? bbbbrake ffffffaaaaadddddddeeee during twistie stints. OEM never had this problem.

Can you smell train brakes ? .. no sorry thats my car.

Choose OEM over these.

I've always suspected EBC greenstuff only for replacement on really crappy brake pads. I prefer Ferodo Excel.

Have you properly bed in the pads? Because my EBC greenstuffs pads are definitely better than OEM, and as for brake fade, haven't felt it, not even after track abuse.
