Any input would be great....thanks!

- Wed Feb 20, 2008 9:56 pm #43206 EBC green, is that really to recommend for the track? Sure, it is nice to have dust free brake pads for your showcar, but two laps on a normal track and all you got left is the steelbracket that once was an important part of your brake setup.
I have never heard of someone that been happy with EBC at all regarding trackdays.

I could of course be wrong, but it is never fun to hold back on the throttle becouse you don´t trust your brakes. :wink:

But you might also want pads that not require warm-up runs before they really put you to a halt :P
Green stuff is for me only for showcars and maximum spirited street driving.

i got my ss lines there i believe. Technafits.


With the SS lines should I be looking for the EG ones or do I need to find the ones that match my GSR brakes?
