Is anyone here using EBS green or yellow compound brake pads? The prices seem attractive. About $60 per axle for greens and 80 per axle for yellows. Yellows are supposedly a true track pad that has cold stopping power good enough for street and AX use. Seems too good to be true.
I believe Howard R. in AUS is using greens. Howard, if you could spare a few minutes I'd be interested to know how you use your car and what your experience is with the EBC's. I have been using EBC pads for downhill mountain biking for years and really like them so I'm interested in using them on the car. I know a lot of folks here are fans of the Porterfield R4S. That's my backup. I'm a little concerned about rotor life with the R4S's though. A friend of mine ran two track events with them on a 2.0L 4 cyl car and there seemed to be a lot of rotor wear and grooving. Maybe it's just me. Thanks for your help. Kelly |

Hey guys thanks for the replies. I agree that a 914 is so light unless you are running a full on race car you should be able to get away less than a full race pad.
In addition to mountain bikes, EBC's are real popular with the motorcycle crowd in the US. My wife has an MGB and we used to get MGWorld before it went out of print. Seems EBC's are very popular in Europe for track days as well. I guess they are just getting started in the US. Howard, glad to hear from you. Those targa style events sound like a lot of fun. I'm assuming the picture in your avatar is from one of those events. I wish we could run some of those around here closer than Newfoundland. Sounds like a familiar story, change pads or change rotors. Since I prefer to change pads I think I'll go with the greens and see how they do. Thanks for the input. Kelly |
