GhiaX1.8i Posted March 11, 2003 Author Share Posted March 11, 2003 I`ve got EBC discs and Green Stuff V4 pads, still get brake dust all over the place!!!!! Are they good brakes, i get loads of dust off the pads I have at the moment but I just want better quality brakes cos braking from high speeds isnt good at the moment!

Colin Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 So i guess you spotted a Panda car sitting with a hairdryer pointing in your direction then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 i am using standard discs and greenstuff pads, i get less dust than the normal pads, i get no brake fade like i did with the standard pads.. i abuse my car a bit and i have had 2 sets of greenstuff in 6 months... gonna get discs and new pads all at once soon because my discs have very small cracks in them....

Stormin_1.6_auto_WRC Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 you could have had a 285 mm upgrade from hi-spec brakes for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormin_1.6_auto_WRC Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 but there not really much use without better pads. If you drive hard enough you can get your new pads/discs to smoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
