Premium Rotors & Ebc Greenstuff Pads

[Paranormal]

Hi all just bought a new set of EBC Green stuff pads for the front of my BA with premium factory brakes, the brake shop actually ordered in two sets of pads as they have seen several variants anyways if anyones interested in the part number for front PBR premium EBC Green Stuff pads it's - DP21162 to suit Chev Corvette 5.7 1999>

Ok now when I removed the old pads they still had bout 3mm or so left but I was hearing a metal scraping sound thinking I was metal to metal but my rotors have just about worn out the cooling groves and the top lip is about 3-4mm protruding which was rubbing just above the pad surface on the back of one of the pads.

This is on a 2003 BA with 80,000k running ford pads until now. Anyways I'm after brand / part number and approx pricing for straight bolt off bolt on alternative.

Cheers guys.

80k out of a set of premium rotors, I think we have a new record here

Speak to bcr01, he can supply a DBA or PBR alternative.

if 80,000 is a record try this for size,

Im on 104,000km getting new pads and discs tomorrow.

its a manual I guess that's why.

mine arent premiums, they are standards if that makes a difference!

There is a difference, most people only get 30,000kms out of a set of premium rotors.

I got 68,000, I know of someone that got 70,000 and now we have a winner at 80,000...

I'm going to fit the ebc greens very soon, the standard pads squeal and annoy the out of me!

Starting to get a bit of squeal from my PBR's recently when light braking. I know guys the answer is to drive the brakes harder.

But my question is, I have heard that if you rough the pad up that will fix the problem. Is this true? I would imagine it to be a temporary solution.
