jebus82 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 i know i had posted a thread before about brakes, but i think i have changed ma mind (hopefully for the last time lol) was gona go for the brake tech discs front and rear and mintex 114 or 115 pads but i thinks im gona go for the ebc pads and discs instead. linky to brakes Gona go for the braided brake lines and EBC red stuff pads and either the EBC turbo groove discs or the EBC ultimax discs, as they are the same price i would like to know: does any one have either of them fitted? which ones are best? any opinions on the quality/ or how long the discs and pads will last its for the subaru 4 pots and it would only be for road use cheers guys Link to comment
wrx kenny Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Bad move with ebc red brakes , I had them and had brake failure twice on a Lanark run . Mintex 1144,55 pads are a sensible choice . I had ebc discs on previously with the Mintex pads it was a cracking combination never let me down once . Kenny Link to comment
patsy Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Why not get some kevlar pads? I have them on Brembos and they work great. Better than the ebc yellow stuff pads I had before. All fast road use. Kevlar ones are cheaper also! Link to comment

salsa-king Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I had EBC discs and Red stuff front/Green stuff rears on my MY97 classic, never had any problems and did a few track days too with them. so much better than standard. Link to comment
wrx kenny Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I had my red stuff pads on about 4 years ago , I do believe they have upgraded their pad materials so they may be well improved on what I had years ago . Kenny Link to comment
