Tuning Front pads for 1.4
I've heard good things about the 2500's. I was thinking of a set for the 'ring trip but no one seems to have them for the 500 and I can't remember off hand where else the 500 calipers are used. I know they're on a punto, just can't remember which one and I've not had a chance to poke about eper.
I've got green stuff pads on mine at the moment and they're marginally better than the standard ones and about equal in terms of stopping power to the Red Dot ones I had on before. Yellow stuff seems a popular track day-ish choice as well but I've not actually tried them.

looks like i will be getting the greenstuff, need that bedding in surface to remove the zinc plate on the brembos aka the ebc rotors
where did you get yours and how much?
www.brakes4u.co.uk. £47 for the fronts. £30-something for the rears.
And the green stuffs pull off the Zinc coating pretty quickly

Where are you getting the Ferodo's from? Reckon they'll do a 2 for 1 deal?
no luck finding a supplier

Me neither. Everyone tells me they don't make them for the 500. They do make them for various Puntos and Stilos though and the calipers on our 500's are the same as certain Puntos. I just can't remember which one off hand. I need to poke around eper a bit.

Lol! Even if they're rubbish they're better than the standard Fiat ones and about comparable to the Red Dot ones I had on before. I'm hunting down the Ferodo ones before the ring. If no one can accommodate I might grab a set of yellow stuff ones.

sure they will be fine along with my Brembo Sport drilled discs
they are the same for Stilo 1.4

You mean the calipers are the same as the Stilo 1.4?
