What make are they ?

look like ebc yellowstuff

they are not a low dust pad if they are

 

[midget4hire]

What make are they ?

yeah as Dave said

look like ebc yellowstuff

they are not a low dust pad if they are

They were recommended by EBC's CEO so i took his word, il see how they are and if I dislike them il change to another pad

 

[dave]

they work well even from cold, just same dust as a standard pad so you get dirty wheels

It gets washed fairly regularly anyway so thats not a massive issue
Im waiting to see how well they work when cold though

These arrived and are now on the car with the Yellowstuff pads

have they got wear dimples? i cant see any in the photo, my brembos came with wear dimples so you can tell at a glance when to change them

 

[midget4hire]

So theyve done about 300-400 miles now and theyre still squealing when I brake. Its getting slightly annoying now. How long should this last?!

My rear ones do, dont think these do though

 

[dave]

did you grease them?

 

[midget4hire]

did you grease them?

yeah apart from the back as it has a pad atached to stop squeeling. might slap some grease on it

 

[dave]

i do the shim pads too

 

[midget4hire]

i'll give them a greasing tomorrow then and see if it helps
cheers

Hi
Saw your panda on friday, I heard it before i saw it! Sounds very nice indeed. Gonna have to get some pics up of my grey 100hp, altho yours outdoes mine in every aspect. Where did you get the abarth badges from? your local fiat dealer? Are they easy to fit?

Thanks

Ian

Where abouts did you see me? Ive seen one or 2 grey 100hps local to me

The abarth badges were bought from partsworld uk, fiat/alfa dealer in chesterfield

The front one bolts off behind the bumper, just remove the 4 bolts from the top of bumper and its possible to reach behind
The back one is a stick on badge, gently use a credit card and it should peel off

may aswell update this, not bothered for quite a while

Now have a set of Koni adjustable dampers on the rear, which i would definitely recommend.
New backbox arrives tomorrow too, went for the Group N ragazzon

Will update when its on the car
