What pads?
Thinking of changing my brake pads all round again.
Currently have EBC Yellow pads. Brake set up is Brembo Sport Drilled all round Goodridge lines AP Racing DOT 5.1 fluid On Gold Brembo calipers. Noticed more recently the Yellows not biting and having the feather the pedal a few times to get heat in them. Now sure how many miles the Yellows have done to be honest? Steve |
Hi Steve,
Try the new EBC Bluestuff NDX compound. Best all round pad I've ever tried and we run it on our car here. Works from cold, not noisy, no fade and great stopping power. As good on the road as it is on the track. Well priced too: http://www.superhids.co.uk/new-ebc-b...u/impreza.html We're doing a money back guarantee on these, where you can use them for 3 months and if you are not 100% happy, you can return them for a full refund. That's how confident we are that they are a superb pad :D Tel: 01462 488244 |
never realised the new 'bluestuff' was more expensive than the PF z-rated pad that i would have tended to recomend (in most applications also!!)........
although we are major distributors for various manufacturers (Performance Friction, Pagid, Ferodo Racing, Mintex Racing, etc.) we tend to find that because of the specific issues encountered with the Brembo STi caliper that the PF is about the best all round pad for arduous use and very long life also in this car if its just general 'shopping/commuting runs' then we can offer a more std pad at a silly low cost mention the forum if ordering and we offer a members "deal" alyn |
I have been using PF pad's for 7 months now,
in various driving situations.:whistle: I have found them spot on, and thoroughly recommend them.:nod: |
Pf pads here to and i cant fault them at all
|
Only £9 difference (full set) over the .11s in all fairness, but over £100 less than .01s. ;)
|
have yet to see a "proper" test against something like 01 that would convince me in that direction........:santagrin:
|
Plenty of data about, and a lot more to come.
Can't knock a money back guarantee as a sign of confidence :D No knocking PF (as we sell them too ;) ) but EBC have really hit the mark with these. :nod: Quote:

but those are views not tests..............specifically different
i hope they have finally sorted there compound and contact issues |
Real world views from an impartial party, a competitive competition car/driver who logs lap times, coming from various compounds including PF.01s - chooses to run EBC Bluestuff NDX. That speaks more volumes than any manufacturers test. ;)
I've yet to see any independent brake tests that you speak of with any pad manufacturer against another? All pads have their place, it's just good for customers that there is a greater choice of pads available. If someone calls to order PF, we'll sell them PF, if people ask for a recommendation, I recommend the Bluestuff NDX, it is what we run on our car here after all. :cool: :) |
Bit of difference from a time attack car and a road car doing the odd track day...
Seen what people have comment on sn about them and will wait for views from people i know |
Thank you all for the feed back. Angus, your a tit.
I've read up about the Bluestuff pads over on SN. Tried to get a set to test by missed out by a day. Gutted. I would have been ok if I'd got my butt in gear and purchasd the PF discs and pads from a member on Surrey. I forgot about them and then when I was reminded I didn't have the funds as I forked out some dosh on my wedding stuff. Bugger. Will have to check my piggy bank and let one of you guys know. Cheers Steve |
Well, as I say, mine are going on wednesday, so i'll report back. Was going to go PF, but afer reading bits on bluestuff thought i'd be a 'test pilot' and give them a go.

Give them a few miles and keep us posted Steve.
I personally love them :D |
What was the Porker running on the handling day Bob?

EBC Bluestuff NDX :D

Have run PF Z rated pads in mine since it was almost standard and never had them fade or do anything other than work perfectly in all conditions (road, shopping, track).
the biggest test in my view is the longevity of them - the Z rated PF pads lasted for 18,000 miles a set compared to a lot less than that for EBC Yellows (20 minutes before I threw them away). I havent tried bluestuff but there is nothing in my view that can touch PF pads for a normal road car that is driven enthusiastically and expecially as they are cheaper it makes them just even better value for money. If you really want something that will stand the car on its nose then PF 01's have never let me down in the car in its current form. |
First impressions of the 'blues' are good. Only done about 100 miles on them and not at any speed, but they bite really well from cold and are silent (my others tended to squeak). I'll get some miles on them and report back how good they are when hot!. Its difficult for me to give a direct comp as I also changed the discs and lines so the whole set up is better, but so far so good :doubleup:
