Ebc brake pads

[Ben Perry]

Hi all just wondering if anyone has had any experience with ebc unlimax pads as myself and a mate running them (mk2 escy and Orion) and we ain’t convinced lol

I use them on my suzuki swift sport. Find them great pad for the price. They Stop well and they last to

Not EBC, but I used to have Green stuff pads in my mk3 Tina but they used to squeal a lot when stopping, swapped to Mintex, same stopping power and no squealing!

I had green stuff in my cossy and couldn’t fault them minimal brake dust to good on sharktooths for cleaning reasons lol but the ebc ultimax in my lighter escort just seem like you really gotta work hard

I thought that as it’s road mainly but I thought ultimax is road/ “fast road”

Think they’re basically standard road pads with a jazzy name!

If you’re looking for advice on pads, give George Snee a shout at roadtrackraceparts.com

Completely unbiased advice, and steered me right trying to source pads for my gtr280 brakes recently.

It's like everything else on a car. Price dictates quality / and how deep are ur pockets..

Mintex 1144.fast rd 1155. Fast rd or track Or even 1166 track only pads cost.

Ferodo ds2500 pads same. Just depends how much ur willing to pay for good brakes.

Ebc green stuff. yellow . blue . and orange pads are the same.

I have always had a preference for Ferodo DS Performance pads for road cars. More seem put  DS2500's in their road cars where the DS has the same breaking coefficient at cooler temperatures. Meaning that on the road they work from the get go and you don't have that scary moment before the disks heat up enough before your braking efforts begin to kick in. They are also easier on rotors. The trade off is that the cant sustain that efficiency with consistent heavy breaking from track work etc but work effectively even with the most spirited road driving. I don't even use vented rotors any more so they still have more up their sleeve if you have more efficiently cooled disks.
