EBC slotted with green stuff pads


Who else has good brakes on their fit and what did you get?

 

Hello,

I had a GE model but it's the same brake system (caliper/rotor) as the GK.

Long time ago, I also used EBC GreenStuf brake pads on my front brakes but with stock disc/rotor. The EBC is much better pads compare to stock pads in term of grip and feel but they wear out faster and they are very dusty, I think I goes through 2 set of EBC GreenStuf in 20,000 miles, while I drive about 20,000 miles also with stock pads before it need replacement...
One time when I drive with 4 people and lot's baggage in the trunk down a mountain pass, I experience brake fade and when I stop on the side of the road, the right front brake pads is on fire (literally on fire),
but it is not the mistake of the brake pads, but more because our rotor is way too small to dissipate the heat fast enough (please note my car is Automatic so no much help from downshifting/engine braking)...
But I never plan to stay with stock brake for long anyway, so the EBC GreenStuf was just a temporary fix before I can have enough money to upgrade my brake.
below is the pictures when I used to have EBC GreenStuf,




since I upgraded my front brakes to the system on the picture below,
I never had any problem with fade, the car stop much faster (and stable/straight) from triple digit speed and the brake pads will last much longer because it is not working as hard as the stock brakes:



I also upgraded the rear brake system with JDM Integra Type R with
13.08 in diameter custom rear rotor,
now on the Rear Integra Type R rotor, I still use EBC Green Stuf again,
because I worry a Yellow Stuf would make the rear had too much rear bias,
so far the EBC Green Stuf on my rear brake perform well and balance,
I do paint it yellow now:

Wow! I love big brake kits. Yours looks great. I couldn't imagine having a fit in triple digit speeds. That's nuts. My EBC rotors and pads specifically state that these products are meant for cars that do not go above 100

 

OMG, the EBC green/Slotted rotors looks absolutely gorgeous. I often find it funny that some people go to great lengths to make the care go faster, or handle better, but completely neglect the brakes.

 

As Jeremy Clarkson says, Going fast has never ever hurt anyone, however, suddenly stopping will kill you every time.

Stoping will always be more important than going. These EBC ultimax rotors perform beautifully. They are extremely easy to install and are relatively inexpensive compared to big brake overkill kits for this car.

 

Looks good. I was going to do the same when my pads and rotors need replacement. What torque specs did you use for the caliper and the bracket? How much did it all cost?

 

I set the torque to impact gun. And it costs less to do this setup than it is to replace your stock rotors.....

 

Stock rotors are about $20-40 on rockauto, so I doubt that.

There's a lot of room between German Spec of Gutentite and Russian spec of Brokenoff...

 

By stock I mean Honda stock. Not just replacement parts that may fit the car.

I thought of resurfacing my original rotors but Honda was estimating $200+ to do that so I bought EBC instead.
