My 4.6 classic is due new pads and i don't know whether to put standard ones back on (i think theyve lasted about 12 months / 15k) or to put green stuff ones on. Obviously there is a significant price difference and wondered if anyone has tried them and can offer an opinion?

Thanks

To be honest James I don't really rate the EBC stuff. I fitted some performance EBC discs & green stuff pads to my BMW 740i & it was better before with standard stuff, if you brake hard you get brake shudder sometimes & I bedded them in proper. A friend of mine also fitted the same set up to his Volvo T5 & gets slight brakes shudder sometimes also.

Its difficult not comparing like with like.  My mate who rallies a Peugeot wouldn't touch EBC having tried them on a road rally car, but I have had nothing but good experiences with them on the Discovery racer. We use the brakes very hard, but they respond superbly.

That said for normal road use there is little wrong with genuine standard pads.

Hi!

On my LSE I started with OEM discs and pads. They wore slowly but braking was no better than only just OK with much fading after braking hard. Then I switched to Brembo Discs with original LR pads which eliminated the fading. Now I have green stuff with the brembos and cold they are equal to the originals, but when warmed up (which is usually the case for me in city traffic) they rock.

 Tried Greenstuff  on 110 had a few problems with first time braking and coming of motorways where brakes didn't seem to work very well at all.
 I have used Mintex since which have given me better braking all round don't cost any more, Whether that would be the case if I were to use them for rallying I don't know but I would recommend Mintex pad for road use.

Range Rover Blues:
You should never go far wrong with Mintex, I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't one of the OEM suppliers anyway.

As always, if you buy branded they should be ok.
