brake recomendations

[Daveho1]

hey guys,
basicly i have fount that the combination of my poor tyres as well as the stock 4 wheel disc brakes on my b18 EG isnt enough to withstand harder mountain driving. so im getting the 262 brakes from a vtir (master, booster prop valve as well) but i think i may be over thinking my brake setup long story short have you guys used;
rda rotors
ebc greenstuff pads
goodridge lines.
i know its basicly the most standard setup there is but i would like your opinion on this set up or something elce if you know whats the goods.

also the tyre issue will be resolved soon aswell.
edit: after more reading i think ill try the ebc yellowstuff over the greenstuff

In my track eg in nz I ran DBA 282mm rotors, hawk hp plus (best pads I've used by a long shot), prelude calipers and the booster and prop valve from a 96spec ITR
Brakes and tyres are very important

jdmyard run rda rotors on there track k powered civics and dba are double the price i doubt they would last twice as long as long as you have a cool lap if tracking rdas are fine.
yer the ferodos are good but price em up...
fluid year fine, ill stick with castrol though.
and yep goodridge lines are my prefrence too but hel lines are good too.
im not looking for a list of popular products

im really looking for info on the products i have listed. if you have experiance with them please chime in

my tyres will be 205/50r15 on a set of 15x7 . those brakes sound like they would pull up well. i just wanna remind yall that this isnt a track car it gets run on roughish mountain roads.

I recommend the disc brakes from your bicycle.

i only have horse shoe brakes on bmx. oh do you have DIY for conversion?

Even better! Less weight!

You can use the Spoogen Power conversion adaptor plate which you can buy from TypeNone racing in japan for $7,800 + postage. Direct bolt on for DC/EG with BMX brakes.

id be a fool not to become the australian distributer.

262mm VTi-R setup meaning Calipers + Rotors yeah?

EBC Greenstuff 2000 is rated at:
Temp - 600°C [Doesn't say if it works from 0°C]
Nominal Friction Coefficient - 0.55μ

I'd be fairly careful cause that Coefficient means its VERY aggressive... Its more aggressive than my MX72s which I needed to get Dixcel HS/FS [Heat-Treated + Slotted [HS], Sper Taikyu spec material, Heat-Treated + Slotted] rotors to withstand the MX72s.

I had custom Goodridge lines made up at Race Brakes Sydney, I can attest to the quality of Goodridge, pushed them hard in my 111, good constant feel.

Personally with your setup, I'd go something similar to babybashjnr's setup, ITR 98' Calipers and Rotor size if possible as it will allow for your setup to be more durable/withstand more heat =)

EDIT: Just read your edit, I can't find specs for the Yellowstuff so can't comment man

I used Dba 262 slotted rotor, ebc green n later on red, good ridge lines.

It was good for what u intended to do, street/mountain.

Stay away from RDA, it cracks and need machining after few months use.
