EBC green stuff review, 6gc follow-ups Options

[Hanyo]

Hey guys,

I know this is a repost, and I know it has been discussed.

But I would like a follow up review from you guys that have these pads.

State if you have followed brake in produres, and whether you installed new rotors along with the pads.

State how many miles you have driven on these pads. And how much pad life is left (brand new? half way used up?).

How hard do you drive your car? 1 being groceries getter and 10 being all time track machine.

Any complaints? noise? dust? during hot or cold weather? better then stock? better then ceramic pads?

has any one tried the Satisfied GranSport 5 Pads. At tire rack there under the autocross section. so i figure they would be even better.. also there cheaper.

hey doug, dont jack my thread!!!


haha... just kidding.

this is what i have found out about autocross track pads:

"RACE/TRACK PADS are not for everyone. They are ALL, as far as my personal experience goes, expensive, dirty, noisy, short lasting, very hard on rotors, and, generally, don't work when cold. They do, however, work like an anchor around a tree when hot, and don't tend to fade (as much as street pads) when hot. The real key to using race pads is to WARM THEM UP BEFORE HEAVILY APPLYING THE BRAKES! Hard braking with cold race pads usually results in poor braking, lots of noise, and horribly grooved rotors. If you need race pads (and if you do a lot of hard track driving, you NEED race pads), be prepared for the above draw backs, and try to take them off as soon as you are off the track. The drawbacks make them unacceptable for street use, in my opinion. I have a stack of ruined rotors, and permenantly stained alloy rims to prove it. Even if you can stand the rotor and wheel destruction, you will tire of the dirt and noise."

one more question. Do you need to warm up EBC green stuff pads?
