Okay so, I’m not sure whethe rthe 26mm and 30mm caliper pads are the same. Are they?
I need new ones.
I am also interested in EBC redstuff pads. Help would be appreciated. I need to buy and replace the pads, asap, urgently, my brakes are being shyte and becoming dangerous.
I want something that is on the plus side above street use, but not purely track use. I heard ebc redstuffs are reputable (amongst wrx guys, cutting double digit feet off their 100-0 stops and having little to no fade an awesome upgrade)…
The greenstuff pads are basically OEM++ pads, they have OEM replacments too (the black ones) but yea… They are in other words street car pads.
Then the yellow stuffs and blue stuffs are for track and very heavy sedans if i recall. So that’s why I opted for the red stuffs.
I have HPS pads and powerslot rotors (slotted) in the rear (2pot 300zx calipers) and they are still brand new with almost zero use.
The front is a different story. It was resurfaced (blanks - non-slotted, non-drilled) and the pads are thin and near absolutely dead… which is scary to say the least.
I also need some good fluid 600f blue or whatever its called… I put motul when I installed these. I need to bleed and put new fluid.
When I first installed everything the pedal was ultra stiff/hard… I loved how I could modulate it. Now the pedal travels almost all the way in, and I kid you not, and its marshmellow like… The car only brakes now when it goes near all the way in, I only then feel the pads and rotors friction… before that its like empty air (probably in due to pads almost non-existing and fluid in need of bleeding and replacment).
Also I don’t care about noise or dust. Dust as far as I know just makes things dirty and in more need of cleaning. I don’t care about that.
Noise, well, I have a 90% stripped car, trust me doesn’t bother me… and well since the first time I installed it, I’ve had brakes squeeling… so I’m kind of used to it.
The front pads that came with when I purchased the brake setup were red… and I was actually thinking of getting redstuff pads… but then I saw that… HOWEVER… the pads exterior looked like it was painted… lol… so the original pads that I’ve had were and are to me unkown when I got them.
