EBC Greenstuff Pads V Standard Road Pads?
Discussion
Greetings gents!
I am interested in hearing from anybody with experience of using EBC Greenstuff pads on a road car. I have been using such pads on the Hi-Spec billet 4 calipers I have fitted to my Capri. The engine has been enlarged to 3,000cc & a new Turbo Technics conversion was fitted in 2007. I had already uprated the suspension & brakes in anticipation of the large hike in power. The car punts out 280 ft lbs of torque & 228 Bhp- as per rolling road testing at Rick Wood Racing.
In addition to the upgraded brakes, I have also fitted a modification recommended by Capri Sport- a Land Rover master cylinder & 2 litre Capri servo unit. This has improved the braking effect. The point is, I am not convinced at the performance of EBC Greenstuff pads for normal, occasionally fast(!) road driving. I find that they lack bite, unless they have been worked hard, thereby putting some temperature into them. I wonder whether I would see better results by switching to standard brake pads, which would offer good performance even when cold?
Your thoughts please fella's!
Much obliged!
