Dont fit sport brake discs and pads expecting your car to be able to stop on a penny from 60mph. | |

quote: i think ur talkin out of ur backside, if the fluid evaporated then over time u wouldn't have n e fluid left in the resevoir and u wouldn't brake at all :rolleyes::| also no difference in braking with this set up apart from no brake dust. u can get a v6 setup 4 200 quid :) | |

best of getting vaux pads and grooved discs, but for the same money you can get a 2l setup which will be much better . | |

Actually under heavy braking, the brake fluid just boils, not evaporates. I would also like to point out that with standard vent'd discs, you will not get much better than GM pads. Nothing special about Greenstuff really unless they are coupled to EBC discs too. GM stuff is pretty good as far as OE parts go. Just stick with GM, most on migweb swear by them. Also, it might be of use going for DOT 5.1 brake fluid if you are braking very heavily all the time. | |

The main difference between green stuff pads and std pads is that green stuff pads can take alot more heat. Say your doing 100Mph and you have to brake as quick as possible, std pads would brake for a few seconds and then the temperature would cause brake fade. This is when the brakes get really hot (due to hard braking) and dispite how hard to push on the peddle your car will feel like its not braking. Also, if you use anything less than Dot4 brake fluid the fluid can also start to evaporate making your brakes feel spungy. Green stuff pads and Dot4 brake fluid are essential if you like to go fast every once and a while. | |

Iv got these pads with ebc drilled and grooved discs, there is a difference in braking but i think its mainly due to the discs as my m8 just has pads with standard discs and says their just the same. | |
