hi chaps,
Does anyone have any experience of EBC green brake pads. Are they better than Porsche standard pads for track use?. 996C4
thanks
Neil

Don't know how they compare with the Porsche pads but as I understand it Green Stuff are more suited to sprints/hillclimbs where pad temp is less of an issue and immediate performance is key. Red stuff would would probably be their most suitable pad for track work - I have these in my old 205 and they still work well as a road pad too.

Edited for speeeling...

possibly slightly, they certainly produce less dust. They are not as aggressive as a proper track pad though. Extra cooling and fresh (quality) brake fluid will help,

EBC pads are inferior to OEM pads. They are usually the boy racer choice.

If you require a real upgrade select from the Pagid range.

This is the manufacturer of choice for the Porsche Motorsport boys.

If you select a carbon based pad it will produce a lot more dust than non-carbon based pads.

Just spotted your car - for a 996 C4 change the fluid and try Pagid Blues if your OEM pads start to suffer - or better still Yellow RS29's at a little more cost.

Intersting trying both back to back I found the greens slightly better than the porsche pads, EBC reds I found slightly better again, but they wear much faster than standard pads or greens,
330BHP 944 turbo with slicks on track. Proper pads are better but most of my miles are on the road and i cant be arsed to change them for a trackday - not like its a race after all.
