Redstuff Pads

[clarkeeuk99]

Having some fitted tomorrow.

What are they like for dust? Not as bad as Carbon Lorraines are they!

have them all round on mine, def not as much dust as original pads dunno about the lorraines

was thinking of getting the carbon lorraines, how did they feel? cant say the red stuffs are feeling particulary special to me day to day, though they did do there job on a track day i was at

Less than the OEMs is good! The lorraines are really excellent pads, but I've had such trouble cleaning the wheels that I ended up getting through a whole bottle of wonder wheels just on the front two tyres! Not to mention the caked on dust on my paintwork which I'm sorting this weekend.

They are great pads but they ruin your alloys unless you're happy to clean them very thoroughly pretty much everytime you drive hard otherwise the dust just bonds to the hot wheels.

I think you'll struggle to remove the Brake dust on the paint! Will be etched on now.

Might have to try T-Cut Metallic. Any better ideas anyone?

i am having yellowstuff, the dust are way less when comparing to the OEMs(there were even brake dust on the paint with OEM), so the reds should be fine also?

but i m not liking the initial bite though, the overall feel to the pad, it stops well, but comparing to my HAWKS on my mx-5 before, that one felt much better...maybe the weight of the car counts as well when comparing car by car...

I use EBC greenstuffs then I use a light polisher / cleaner on my car and also wheels which is a light abrasive and does a good job though if its etched in then thats a different problem

despite the claims, i noticed no difference in the amount of dust when I fitted red stuff.
