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 |

This is not a 914 experience, and the biggest difference is probably the weight at 2500lbs.
but I used a set of EBC greens on the front of a ford focus hatchback. I put it on the racetrack about 3 days worth of school. I also, used it primarily on the street as my commuter car. When I switched over the the port. rs4 I subjectively felt like the brakes were better. It also squeeked more cold, but I can live with that. If it makes any difference I put new rotors on it with the EBC's, but not the ports. Still like the ports better, but yes its a little bit heavier car with a front weight bias. brant |
