red calipers and green pads not cool. do them all black. and i hope you don't want the greenustuffs to perform any better, the only advantage i had from them was less brake dust. apart from that good work

Red dot discs are crap, warp extremely easy and the pads - from cold they may as well have not been there, and when warm, they just faded.

Not a fan of any EBC brake products.
Had drilled discs and greentstuff pads on my old cavvy gsi turbo.They faded pretty quickly and the pedal feel was shite.
Had Hi-spec 4pots with 300mm grooved discs and Redstuff pads on my old Pulsar and they were shite on track and even worse on the road.Totally over-rated imo.
Got turbo calipers,fiat coupe 288mm discs and oem pads on the corsa and they are fuking awesome.

They are not the drilled disks that people mention, that crack. They are grooved and 'dimpled'. I don't think they suffer from the same issue.
Not a fan of EBC pads though for heavier cars.
