EBC Greenstuff Pads - cully - 31-07-2014
well its been nice knowing you but you now have to go after you have let me down!
back in march 2012 i fitted a nice set of new discs and green stuff pads
these are Lucas 266 EBC DP21104
[attachment=18080]
[attachment=18081]
the pedal has been getting as there was no friction to slow the bus down so had to investigate expecting the rears to have siezed, but to my suprize back is A-OK
on checking the front i got the sinking feeling
both the inside pads had come unbonded from the carrier
the pads themselves have loads of meat on them so do the discs
[attachment=18082]
is 2 years 2 months good going for a set of pads?
thinking about it i think they have done well
RE: EBC Greenstuff Pads - Niall - 31-07-2014
Regardless of age, they should never become unbonded!
I get through a set of pads on the Kia ever 18 months but then i probably do many more miles than you in a year. Its all down to mileage. Not time.
RE: EBC Greenstuff Pads - Connor - 31-07-2014
Age is mainly irrelevant, more so down to miles. Those look like they have lipped the disc quite badly as well
RE: EBC Greenstuff Pads - Toms306 - 31-07-2014
That's not good!
Though I guess its driven hard every time it goes out? Still shouldn't end up like that though.
Edit - Just realised this is on the estate not the '6....in that case I don't see why it's happened at all!?
RE: EBC Greenstuff Pads - bashbarnard - 31-07-2014
Ive see.this once or twice a month on various pads come into garage. Right from crappy national to dealer spec but I would expect better from a performance pad.
RE: EBC Greenstuff Pads - RetroPug - 31-07-2014
I'd be ringing them up to complain. Might get some free replacements out of it.
RE: EBC Greenstuff Pads - miles - 31-07-2014
Never liked them due to too many issues, better off with Std Ferodo's or Mintex at 3/4 of the price
RE: EBC Greenstuff Pads - Eeyore - 01-08-2014
I fitted greenstuff pads to my car last week. They are amazing compared to my old pads and im really happy with them.
We will have to wait and see if this happens to me what with all the track time and everything! I agree with the others. The material should never come unbounded from the surface. Especially in a 120hp diesel... what the hell happens in faster cars with bigger brakes D:
RE: EBC Greenstuff Pads - swampy - 01-08-2014
wouldnt even use greenstuff as a paper weight they are utterly useless
last set i had left massive deposits on the disk to the point i thought they were warped as the whole car shook violently under braking, checked everything over , even went to the trouble of using a dial test indicator to check for run out and still nothing.
Brake test roller showed up a bad vibration, so i got a mechanic frend to look over them, he looked at the pads and blamed them.
i swapped them out for some pagid rs 42 blue and after about 500 miles all the deposits had been cleaned off the face and the vibrations went.
Ill never use or recommend them again, no matter how many times they re new the compound.
RE: EBC Greenstuff Pads - ADV_93 - 01-08-2014
Ferodo DS2500, can't go wrong tbh. Great brakes no matter what. Just a bit on the pricey side, but you can't really put a price on brakes, especially if you drive spirited
RE: EBC Greenstuff Pads - cully - 01-08-2014
EBC have been contacted they want the pads back for inspection
they are currently boxed waiting for collection
RE: EBC Greenstuff Pads - jammapic - 01-08-2014
Wouldn't touch EBC with a shitty stick.
RE: EBC Greenstuff Pads - Eeyore - 01-08-2014
Im going to put a spin on this. Having fitted mine last week I think they're great. I've had them in the past and never had any problems.

RE: EBC Greenstuff Pads - miles - 02-08-2014
Do they still have on the box not for track use? I know when they first came out (Many years) ago I killed a set in 15 minutes around Combe
RE: EBC Greenstuff Pads - cully - 02-08-2014
cant remember seeing "not for track use" but then a 306 estate wouldn't be at home there

Exactly.
RE: EBC Greenstuff Pads - lolsteve - 05-08-2014
So greenstuffs no good or ..? As there's a guy selling some second hand MG grooved front+back discs+greenpads for £40 , although second hand aint ideal could be an improvement over warped standard mintexs no?
RE: EBC Greenstuff Pads - Eeyore - 05-08-2014
Id say that was a fairly decent deal tbh. Cant go wrong for that if the pads are nearly new.
