Default EBC brake pads group buy?

Hi guys i am about to order a set of yellow stuff EBC pads for the front and rear of my S12 and wondered if anyone would want some at the same time as the price will obviously go down.
The price for one set of special order yellow stuff pads is £135, the more orders i can get the cheaper it will become so please let me know if you are definitely interested.

Thanks.

if they were any other make than EBC then i would have some... dont trust them after a while back when they were getting normal pads in and spraying them different colours because they couldn't meet demand...

plus they have a tendency to die randomly at short mileage... ferodo or mintex for the win

I still swear by those Porterfield pads 30psi found me. They were astonishing. I would reccomend them to any s12 owner.


Im sure if you search porterfield on the forum search button it will come up with previous threads and info on them

Well I ran yellow stuff in my rally car and they were spot on, you can tell by looking at them they aren't resprayed pads as they are made of different material!

Worked ok from cold too, Mintex comp pads (can't remember the number now) I used to run did not work at all until warm. I think it was these that also used to set fire to the rubber boots on the brake calipers, they stopped doing it once they were all burnt away though

I would say stay away from green stuff they are sh1te, no better than road pads.
