Knightrider 1 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 I'm about to replace my front discs and pads, so done a bit of research and EBC Direct seem to be the best price. Club members get a 15% discount from EBC Direct and free shipping, Green are £48 and red are £56 (that's for a later 1997 288mm - for earlier cars they are cheaper). I think the promo code is in the premium members discount section. I'm going to go with red, hoping that they produce the least dust.[Mod Edit to remove actual discount code] Link to post Share on other sites
Knightrider 1 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Rikki, that's interesting about the reds. Are they a bit too 'severe' for ordinary road use? Maybe green is better. Do the green produce much less dust than the standard items? Link to post Share on other sites

Even at the ring I never noticed much brake dust at all. Yellows bite well from cold and just get better, never had em fade once.....unlike Jims "race" pads that he had on Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Oh and I ran yellows when i was NA as well.....they just seem to suit the VR weight.......plus the discount being a premium member makes em quite cheap Link to post Share on other sites
Rikki 2 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Dust is mo different really. i dont drive the vr that hard so the reds are no good for me as i dont track it. The rs is about 260bhp and weighs next to nothin the greens stand up well, but as craggsy has proved yellow are good if you track the vr. Reds are too severe for everyday imo almost non existent...literally/? Link to post Share on other sites
hvr6 88 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Pete, worth becominga premium member for the discount have used them several times for different cars doesnt have to be on my VR. Link to post Share on other sites
