I'm running RDA discs (S ones). Made in China, if I'm not mistaken. But they seem good. No funny wear or judder. :wink:

Do RDA have a website yet?

Yeah I've bought EBC from http://www.autospeed.com/cgi-bin/browse ... 1003600319 over the web. Last time I checked RDA had nothing though. Unlike DBA.

<edit> p/no changed to correct `S' one, DP2102.

Can't you just take the greens down with you and change them and then change them back for the trip home...or is it to much hassel.
Of course this depends if we are staying over night

I'll put the `old' greens back on at the weekend, give them a chance to bed in. But I'll take the new set with me in case.. :wink:

BTW these things are getting friggin' dear now.. :evil:

http://www.autospeed.com/cgi-bin/browse ... 1003600315

these the right pads? you have 7.5" S discs don't you? I called autospeed about these pads a few weeks ago coz i need some new ones and they didn't know which ones i needed. i called the ebc distributor who were positive that i need the DP2102 pads, not DP2101. on autospeed shop they're $88.40 instead of $114.27 for the DP2101's.
There's a pic of each one, but I've never taken my pads off so i don't know by looking at them which is correct... can you confirm which it is? i don't wanna buy the wrong ones!!
the DP102 blackstuffs are $53 i think but i can't decide whether to just buy greenstuffs in case i take it on the track or whether to not be lazy and buy both and swap them when i track it... are the greenstuffs really no good on the road?

OK my bad.. I just checked my Blackstuffs box. DP102... :oops:

So Greenstuffs are DP2102. :wink:

You are right.

Blackstuffs are best for driving around the city or touring. Better bite when cold. :wink:

Don't consider them for hard driving- I got brake fade coming down Kurrajong hill! (OK so I was trying to get 'em hot).Greenstuffs are fine after the 1st brake application. Good for Mini fanging around.

BTW I DON"T have a servo on this car. If you do, stick with Greenstuffs.
:wink:

Arghhh!!!! :shock:

I just received a set of DP2101's. Bugger! My fault for not confirming the pad model number. :roll:

Well I guess I am about to test AutoSpeeds return policy. I am a few days out for 7 so this might be a case of going to ebay. :roll:

so the green stuff pads work the same when hot or cold or do they grip better when hot.

Well, I took the Blackstuffs out today and put the `reground' Greenstuffs back in. Still bedding in but it stops straight. Should be fine by Wakefield on 9/2. :wink:
