I need some decent brake pads for the Nimbus for a track day (but also for use on the road). Carbon metalics are a no go on price and I can't find any that fit anyway.

I run the 1144 and they are squeaky but the car seems to stop well.? The ds3000 have a good name but they are expensive. I wouldn't trust EBC after running the green stuff however, when I ran the fiesta brakes I used ferodo premium pads they were also good on the track at coombe. I will say I have seen you drive and you will drive quicker than me,

I would never run ebc pads again, total shite, both on my 106 and clubman they fell apart. On 15th Jul, 2009 fastcarl said:

+1 the rivets fell out of the EBC set I had that held the clips(fiesta setup), they got red hot and I had brake fade, everything went back to normal when I switched out to the ferodo premium. I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

The yellows are good, use them in the VTEC Metro, lots of people (myself included) who wont touch the greens rate the yellow's highly. |

You won't go wrong with 1144's. 1155 or DS2500 are also good pads but on a light car 1144's should be plenty good enough.

Thread revival. I have purchased some black diamond pads for me car. They are advertised as fast road/track. I have been recommended to use them from a friend and thought id give them a go. Ill report back on how good / bad they are in the near future. If I never post a response again, take it that they are crap and didn't work! |

Well the 1144s held on better than a standard pad, but they still faded.

I can't run 4pots or a vented disc on my Mini because of my wheel choice so I am stuck with the stock S calipers. To improve things I run an aftermarket S disc and some 1144s. For daily driving plus a bit of spirted use they work well but I cooked them a few times. I thought for rebuild number 2 I'd run the EBC Redstuff. So far so good, a bit of dust but happy so far. Apparently they are similar compound to DS2500s? Edited by Jay#2 on 25th Jun, 2015. On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:
