Brake pads

[Dieschelan]

Hi

What is the most used brake pads for road?
Ebc greenstuf or the black stuff?

Cheers

I personally wouldn't use either of them on my car. A good standard top brand like Mintex or Ferodo will be much better. If you want the top stuff, and want to do the occasional trackday, then Mintex M171, or Ferodo DS 2500.. Expensive, but the best .

I have green stuff on my S4. Wouldn't buy them again. Too much fade when hot

DS 2500! Absolutely, wouldn't use anything else.

I think the problem are in the rear. There aren’t many alternatives…

In that case,if you're using a very good pad in the front, (which does most of your braking), then a good standard pad like a Ferodo, Girling or Mintex will be fine in the rear.
I'd advise not to use Green Stuff.

yellow stuff okay

I use green stuff on my Elise and they’re good. Great feel and retardation, just what you need for the road. They are probably too soft for track use, so I guess it depends what you’re going to use the car for!

I have been using EBC Greenstuff pads front & back on my Elan Sprint since 2014... Opinions are like belly buttons; everyone has one

As some who, since an abdominal operation 40 year ago, has no belly button I tentatively offer this as fact. Mintex 1144 pads transformed the braking on my both my Elan S2 and Westfield 7 when they replaced EBC.
