Brake pads (again)!
Posted: Fri Mar 31, 2017 10:49 am
I've searched the archive, but I can't find the answer to my problem. The brakes on my S2 (no servo) are not good, taking a significant amount of pressure to effect a stop. When I rebuilt the car I fitted new pads that I already had in my stock. Problem is that I've had 5 Elans in the past ( and 2 Europas and 2 plus2s) so I've probably fitted pads that are too hard for a non-servo car. When I rechecked my stock it turns out I have 3 more (yes three) brand new sets ( don't ask, I don't know why ) I'd like to identify which of these is the softest and rather than work my way through trying them all, I thought someone might know the differences: This is what I have:
Ferodo 243 CF FE S37 - currently fitted
EBC Green Stuff DP 2114
EBC M 020 DGH 533 - these have a vertical slot running down the centre of the pad material
Lucas GDB 533. WVA 20. 088 14 40 KBA 60374
I've written down the full numbers on the boxes as I don't know which are relevant.
I emphasis that these are all brand new, well NOS, so I am reluctant to buy another set if I already have suitable ones. Can anyone help? BTW I have tried to de- glaze the disc, but it didn't help
