EBC Brakes - same price! whats the difference??

[houston]

if your looking at ebc then go with red stuff pads, or if your willing to spend a bit more then go with Ferodo DS2500.

been researching myself as im gonna be upgrading my brakes soon, just struggling to find the caliper carriers to upgrade to 312mm

well after all the advice which has been floating around on this topic,
i have just purchased front and back red stuff pads and Goodridge Hoses and all came to £189 including postage
from Ruderacing which i have found to be the cheapest on the net.

might have to flush the system with silicone fluid if my overdraft will let me 

thanks guys

silicone fluid? just stick with dot 4, do NOT use dot 5.

there is dot 5.1, but its not a great day to day fluid to use, makes the pedal very responsive but theres no feel to the pedal, might as well just be an on/off switch. it in no way improves the braking, just the response to the pedal

well i dont mind not having the DOT5 cos im skint now anyways lol

but as soon as i get the brakes done, i can start looking at some stage 2 mods 

need to have this baby ready for nurburgring at the end of july ........

i dont rate the green stuff pads at all not worth the money and iv got drilled and grooved discs to go on mine but goin to hold off till the ones on there need changing prob gonna put a mintex pad on with mine as cant bare the idea of them whining all the time with the green stuff   

I've got green stuff pads on my golf and have been really impressed, miles better than standard pads(had mintex pads on my 1st subaru and they glazed up after 3 months)

EBC are sh!te, uprate to a mintex kit, get some slightly uprated brakefluid and a goodridge front and back hose kit (this is how the gti should of been out the factory)
