Title: Green stuff pads
Post by: nadlad on 25 July 2006, 12:40

after managing to pass MOT i need to change all 4 pads and discs,

was thinking of standards 280mm ones but since am thinking of chipping it from 100 to 145 or so they claim was thinkign of some performance ones.

just thinking of green stuff pads do they squeak or grind or are they perfect alternatives also do they  come with the wear indicators on them. and can they work with genuine vw discs or is it better to get alternative ones.

pls help

I'd personally avoid EBC 'Turbogroove??' & Greenstuff like the plague.  Had them on my Clio 16v a few years a go & I found them to be worse than the knackered standards that they replaced! - Absolute garbage, IMO.  Only good for low brake dust levels.

i have green stuff pads and i got to agree with Mk4 Turbo, they arent the best, but on the plus side, they do keep the dust down (a bit)

Over rated, over priced......never again

arent black diamond meant to be good  :undecided:
