green stuff brake pads

<< < (2/3) > >>

Range Rover Blues:
I'd say for a tenner more stick a set of greenstuff on and try them. They aren't as good on the LSE as on blue, despiter Blue having bigger tyres so I reckon the disks are a bit on the hard side, they do look in good nick which makes me think they are (soft ones tend to scrore).  I know the ones on Blue are Delphi from Paddocks, they have greenstuff on them and I've no complaints.

I tend to ignore the cost when it comes to safety related parts ;)

squaddie_fox:
so basically, buy the uprated pads and discs at the same time as the standard discs are too hard for the pads alone to make much of a difference for the cost :roll:

Range Rover Blues:
Well it deepnds what's there already, I don't know what brand are fitted to the LSE and they aren't brillilant whatever pads I fit.  I know what brand of disks are on Blue and depsite having bigger tyres it stops well with greenstuff on.  Whether it's that much better I've never tried, but I havn't any complaints about the brakes, it will lock up on all but the dryest roads.

Jonny Boaterboy:
As RRB said, when it comes to safety: tyres, lights, wipers and brakes buy the best. I put Green stuff 6000 pads all round along with the dotted and slotted Green stuff discs and there was an improvement but not a massive difference. I did notice they coped with brake fade alot better. I had original pads and discs on and towing a trailer over the hills suffered from brake fade quite badly (they were on there last legs though) the Green stuff set up in the same situation still stopped me with only a little deterioration in performance.

The other reason I like the Green stuff kit is that it does seem to be a little better quality than all the rest out there...... and I think its made in the U.K...... got to be the best!   :thumbup:

Merry Christmas all!
