EBC red stuff

[ICE_T]

I have to change my old setup of brake:

small brake, power slot and EBC green stuff. Thoose brake was great, but I want bigger, that why I do a swap with 3000gt caliper dual piston upgrade, on my 1g FWD.

I gonna use again the power slot rotors,. and want to try de EBC red stuff. I know that they have the same performance than the green one,. + more. like they are more powerful at higt temp than the green and have a longer life too.

I want to know if some boddy run that kind of pads. thx

If you are not fading the Greens you really won't gain any advantage from increasing any aspect of your brakes.

EBC Reds have a higher operating temperature window than Greens - this means they work very poorly until up to temperature, which requires putting a significant amount of heat into them. The operating envelope of Greens starts at dead cold, Reds start at somewhere around 200*F. At best, the first few stops on Reds will feel like you're using the handbrake only, once they're up to temperature they'll then perform as expected.

Given you do not have fade issues with Greens on (small ?) 1G brakes, going to larger rotors and higher temp pads in your application will probably result in a marked loss of braking, not an improvement.

well,. I see. I understand what you mean.

you think if my brake are cold, and do an emrgency brake,. I will miss some braking?

In the case of switching from EBC Greens to Reds, yes; trying to stop at the bottom of your driveway may be a better wake-up call than a double espresso shot in your morning Starbucks...
