Homer Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I can't answer your question, but recommend you do not use EBC red's (or especially) greens. I found the performance of both of these extremely poor on the smaller jspec brakes. Both took a very long time to get up to temp (meaning very poor braking when cold), and then faded quickly. The Greens I had caught fire after a hard run once. I binned both sets after less than 1000 miles. Leave EBC's to the Nova boys. Chris Wilson fast road pads completely transformed the braking performance, in all conditions. They do eat the discs a little more but I see discs as equally consumables as pads. Endless pads are also highly recommended by a quite a few on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
