Hi Guys,
Well, it has been just over 20,000kms since I last changed the front brake pads to EBC Greenstuff and here is the QC report
The first 150 or so kms saw these pads produce a slight but constant squeak while braking, which is no surprise, as this is the bedding in period.
There was also some brake dust produced by the pads in that period, but this is no surprise as well.
Since then and at approx. 10,000kms mark, I checked the front brakes for wear and found them to be perfectly and evenly wearing out and there we no signs of any scratches on the disc.
The brake pads performed magnificently through-out this period, their grip was excellent and the amount of brake dust produced was negligible and in fact hardly noticeable compared to the factory pads.
I kept driving with these pads on and I am now at the 20,000kms mark where I have done the second inspection and to my surprise the wear on the pads has not increased much compared to my last inspection at 10K, the disc surface is still very smooth and no excessive brake dust was present.
Since then, I have also changed the rear brake pads to EBC as well. In fact it is recommended to be running on the same type of pads (front and rear).
Conclusion: These pads certainly worth having a try, as they proved to be an excellent choice and alternative to the factory pads.
The DIY Guide on how to replace the brake pads I posted the above has died for some reason, so
HERE is the updated version.
BTW, changing the rear pads was not hard at all and in fact in was much easier than the front ones and took me 15 minutes or so for both sides.
