Scutch0 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Hey guys, Need to replace my front greenstuff pads, but not sure on the part number... Any ideas? It's a 95 j spec n/a. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I`d move away from the greenstuff pads mate, either porterfield r4 or chris wilson fast road are very good, whats the car used for mainly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scutch0 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 It's just my daily, only reason I wanted greenstuff was because 1. That's what's in there already, and 2. Less brake dust = me happier! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobUK Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Get Chris Wilson pads... Really good pads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkpower Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I'm getting Porterfield R4 pads fitted as we speak. I'll let you know how they perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scutch0 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 How much are the Chris Wilson pads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Green stuffs are probably the worse possible pads to fit, even EBC themselves don't recommend them for a Supra Chris Wilson fast road pads will completely transform the braking performance of the smaller caliper setup. They're about £90 for a set of fronts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sams Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 i agree move away from ebc pads. i got a set of yellowstuff pads (only because they didnt cost me anything) and there no good. i managed to cook them the other day, bellowing smoke they were, i was worried they where going to catch fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scutch0 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 Ok well that's outa my price range atm, january was hard on me so I have about £50-60 to spend, anyone have partnumbers for standard replacement pads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I feel for you but £90 is peanuts running cost for a supra. Stock ones will be about £70-80 a set from Toyota. If you're really hard up try Partco for some patern ones, they're rubbish, but still better than worn out or EBC ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scutch0 Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 Quick question, I've always found the brakes lacking feel and I've just had a quick look at the pads and it still seems the outer ones have loads of pad left the brake fluid level is low so I'm assuming the pad nearest the piston is completely worn, is this normal when the caliper seizes? The rear pads were changed 2 months ago hence my suspicions being the fronts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scutch0 Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 Also anyone have a photo of a n/a j spec front pad, as I might have a rifle through the parts catalogs at work, I might be able to find some cheapies to get me outa trouble until I an afford the Chris Wilson ones.

supra steveo Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 if i were you i would check all pads then , give the car some time and tlc also get a tub of copper grease to lube them up grease the slider bars to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scutch0 Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 Yeah I was gonna strip the sliders out and clean them up anyway. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Sliders will be seized, a full car set of my fast road pads is £130 plus VAT, just fronts, which I don't recommend fitting, are £82 plus VAT. Sort the calipers first or it will just drink fuel, chew its way through another set of pads, and overheat them, as well as the discs. If you are on a really tight budget I will have some excellent, evenly worn used pads about the place. £20 an axle set for J-Spec ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
