Ebc green stuff Vs Black diamond

[chrismorby]

so, simple really Ebc green stuff Vs Black diamond pads? need to renew my brakes and thought about a softer compound. also 280 or 288mm on a 96 8v golf?

96 should be 288, EBC I think would be the better choice.

check your calipers, 288 on the left, 280 on the right:

I went for green stuff's, mainly on account of them being a low dust formula..well lets say a bit less dust anyway,  moderate quality.. overall i'd probably go for them again.

cheers guys, ill double check the calipers in a bit and the have a look on the tinter net for a pair

Ferodo ds2500 are an excellent choice. I've heard lots of bad things about the greenstuff pads.

I've heard a lot of good things though. Hmmm....

I was looking at what I'd need for my brakes the other day, and as I have braided hoses, drilled/vented discs, and some pic chunky red calipers, I don't know what the hell I'm doing.

My last 96 8v had 280mm discs but yeah i know some have the larger ones fitted. I guess it comes down to when the car was registered really.

The Green Stuff pads seemed to fine on my mk2 16v...
