EBC Greens

[Newport Viper]

Looking to by a set ASAP.... Fronts only, for a '95

Anyone have extras in Orange County, or where can I drive to to get some.

( Auto parts store?)

Wednesday is my only day to solve my break problems.

Thanks

Jon B has them. You'll probably get them in 2 or 3 days-- I did.

I presume these have less dust and hopefully no squeaks compare to stock??

sbkim,

IMHO,Much less dust and squeeking but at the expense of stopping power. I am going to be changing mine out for something with more bite. I am not comfortable with having less stopping power on the street and drag strip. Trying to slow down from almost 140 to 20mph in the drag shutdown area is a difficult with these pads. For daily street driving they are not bad but still noticibly worse stopping performance as compared to stock pad.

Less dust and squeaks if you prep the rotors correctly. Just remove current ones and spray rotors with brake cleaner and you'll be back here complaining about squeaks.

I just put them on my 99 Rt this weekend. HUGE difference over stock as far as squeaks go. Im breaking them in now so I dont know how much better it will stop yet. I also replaced my rotors too.

I disagree. For street driving (read: lower temperatures), they stop better than the stock pads, as long as you start with smooth rotors, it seems. The green pads are not suitable for a road racing environment, but, in my experience, work much better than stock in autocross and in drag racing where they have a chance to cool down between hard stops. For higher temperatures (road racing, etc), they still work better than stock, but neither work very well; you need a higher temperature pad for racing, but higher temp pads typically don't work well until they get to operating temperature, and are usually unsuitable for street use. For that matter, all of the higher temp pads I've tried (except the EBC yellow pads, which seem to not be considered the best track pad), squeak horribly, and you'd probably not want to use on the street.
