Any advice on front pads? I don't need "high performance" stuff, just low dust & a good initial bite. I've heard Green Stuff are ok. I recall Horsetan was looking for some low dust jobs too. Any luck? Also may need discs too. ------------- AndyS Live each day as if it's your last - one day it will be. http://www.photostick.co.uk/view-933_BaurSig1.jpg" rel="nofollow">

EBC green stuff are pretty hard on discs.. and need quite abit more heat before they really bite, so keep yer distance around town.. ask me how i know this  ------------- |

any pad with kevlar in it will be hard on disc and green stuff is far from dust free
we have switched to Ferodo DS2500 in our M6 and it's a very good best of both worlds compromise DS2000 probably too soft for a heavy car like the 6, DS3000 p'haps a bit too stoppy although I believe it was develped for big Fords which are probably the same(ish) weight. |
