Hi all
Due to language issues in Budapest (I don't speak Hungarian) I order my parts online, often fleabay, so like to get right first time as shipping returns is a pain. Does anyone have exact brake pads that fit 96 +8? I often go for EBC but welcome to alternatives if people have links!
Cheers!
Alex

I use the ebc greenstuff on my 2002 Plus8.
I tried them at the last change and prefer them. I sense a better feel than the standard pads.
ebc sell standard, greenstuff ( a road going upgrade) and also racing spec pads.
Stick to standard or greenstuff. You could always phone them for advice.

I was told by John Worrell that the Green Stuff pads produce less brake dust too....

I was talking to Cain at TOTH earlier this year about brake pads, I have a set of EBC pads in my car and although they are ok, I asked Cain if there was anything better out there. Without hesitation he recommended Mintex 1166, and so I think I'll give them a try. Bit of a price difference though: EBC Greenstuff are around £30 a set, Mintex 1166 are £175!  According to Demon Tweeks: M1166 Manufactured to work from cold and keep on working until hot, while holding its friction level, the M1166 compound has been designed to provide consistent braking performance. With an optimum working temperature between 200°C and 400°C, this compound works well in long distance events where the demands on the braking system do not reach high temperatures. Positive pressure modulation and stable braking performance make this compound suitable for saloon car, single seater and sportscar use. Key Points: • High Performance from Cold • Positive Pressure Modulation • Flat Friction Curve Across the Temperature Range • Average Friction Coefficient of 0.45 • Suitable For Medium to Long Distance Use

They are a track pad, that gives good bite on track. If they don't get up to temperature they have a nasty habit of glazing both pad and disc to the point that the car really won't stop. M1144 (fast road) or M1155 (technically a gravel rally pad) are more suitable to road driving although both can be noisy (squealing) when cold Simon @ SiFab.co.uk

Ah, right, I must have misheard/misremembered what Cain said. Advice duly taken.
