I am sure this has already been asked but does anyone have the part numbers to hand for EBC Green Stuff pads front and rear, and front grooved discs, I have been on to EBC and they just say they have nothing listed but I have had them before so something must fit!

Cheers.

Why fit green stuff pads? As I understand it you get clean alloys but crap breaking Shocked Question

I had the green stuff set up with grooved and drilled discs and they were a vast improvement and they done exactly what they said on the tin ... better stopping power and brake dust that just came off with a cloth Cool

I have greenstuff but only for non harmful brake dust. The stopping power is not as good as standard land rover pads and i know others that say the same.

I find the Green Stuff and drilled discs (Rimmers) work far better than standard at speed but less effective at low speed, spooky!
