Any experience with EBC Green Stuff brake pads, others?

[wilf]

I had Mintex 1144 pads on the Cobra, I too found them very poor from stone cold, much better results from Greenstuff or even Orangestuff or OE grade

Mintex 1144 is my preferred choice, I like to have brakes from cold and the Green stuff is sold as a performance upgrade. When I've used them on the road until they are warmed I've always been a little wary of them, and also after a few miles of motorway running with no braking and a 70mph draft over them I wonder what I'd get if I had to jump on the brakes.

Shouldn't that be the other way round then Micky or have I read it wrong?

Hi

Weird noise it is. May have to go back to solid discs.

Anyone want an unused set of 1144's?

A word of warning about Mintex M1144 disc pads, they are designed for race application and are not good cold, I used them on the racing Stag and they perform great once hot but cold pads can give you a fright, first corners at race meetings was always a bit scary.

These pads are not legal for road use, there is a disclaimer on the box that states "Must not be used on public highways". Green pads are very good work well from cold and get better when hot.

Just looked at my pack and your right, says the same :-( . Strange how the tssc site only mentions that it is used for many OE manufacturers. So I think they will be going on eBay, at least they are for wilwood calipers so should fit many different cars.

Not what I found, the Mintex gives me good performance from the box. As a check I've just reviewed the TR Register forum under Mintex and found loads of good comments about them and anti thoughts about the Greenstuff. It is easy to confuse the Mintex pads there are so many of them, the Mintex M1155 have some non favourable comments on them.
