anyone have any comments on the ferodo pads or the green stuff ones? thinking ill go the bendix advance - cbf paying heaps for pads.

bendix advance is just the new name for bendix standards when they took the asbestos out of them..

I had a VK with the stock discs up front and drums on the rear. Changed over to DBA slotted. Then changed pads to EBC greenstuff as they sounded good. And they were. I noticed the extra braking and longevity. Even more so I noticed when I changed them again (for rego) to $30 parts from super cheap. Was a bit spongier. And I can't remember them at all being bad when cold. Also I can't remember them putting out much dust.. my photos show the front wheels as clean as the backs and were fine. They were around $150 for the pair. The website might say where you can get them. And I have bought some stuff from the autospeed shop. I reckon though.. that if I did it again, and could spare that little bit more money, I would just go for the VT set up - and put good parts on them. Cheers.

Found on ebay.. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/VB-VS-Commodo...cmdZVie wItem (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/VB-VS-Commodore-EBC-Green-Stuff-Brake-Pads-Front_W0QQitemZ2492726766QQcategoryZ43807QQcmdZViewItem)

ouch they pretty pricey. was thinking spendin less than $100. i had the vt brake setup and disc rear on my vl any cheap upgrade come to mind for the r31, my discs are warped and pads ****ed so looking for brake upgrade....

thats a pretty good price for them i think.. considering top of the range bendix are sometimes sold for around the $100 mark for a pair

heard great things about ebc greenstuff..expensive though

I tell you what though.. I would buy them again and again on any car that wasn't my current uni s**ter. For the extra peformance (which I did notice), how often you change the brake pads anyway, the cost of cheap pads and the total cost of owning a car... I think its a pretty worthwhile buy.

Oh mick, when u are having sex with your brakes next time, can i film it please..just to show the boys.. yes they do chew rotors more than others. but then again the bendix advance chew rotors like crazy as well. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

bendix advance are just your standard mid range pad.. they shouldnt be too bad unless they are given a hard time and glaze up..

i would have to say ebc green stuff, there are 2 types of green for street use. there is a new yellow stuff pad, great for road and race use then there is red stuff which is a ceramic compound race pad. i'm going to trial the yellow stuff soon when i get some cash but i would swear by the green stuff.

i was just curious why you guys use just the slotted and not the cross drilled and slotted i just picked up a set of dba cross drilled and slotted rotors for my vl and it pulls up nice, is there some problems with them i should know about.

This will start an argument. But the cross drilled crack rather easily and DBA do not recommend them on the track, because of the reason just stated. Slotted are more then enough to deglaze and allow the layer of gas to escape that builds up under heavy breaking. Plus it works out a few bucks cheaper.

i got ebc green stuff on my vs they r mad but work alot better under higher temperatures than standard pads i just got myself sum vt brakes and slotted rotors and am gunna be using bendix police spec pads coz they cover more distance than a normal pad they r supposed to be mad but r bout $190 buks a set coz they only come out in the ultimate series i guess thats why the cops use em has any 1 on ere used em and what r they like ?

have you ever seen a cop cars front wheels? happy cleaning

ultimates are a waste of monet

You have your colours mixed up, the ceramic red stuff is the road / track day compound, the yellow is a full out race pad, dont use that in a road car....... the red stuff pad didnt used to have ceramic in it, the pad was a POS, so they changed the compound, reds work good now.
