i used green stuff pads on my 2lt nova an it was fine on the track with no brake fade, how ever on my corsa with calibra turbo brakes with standard pads i cooked them within a few laps.

greenstuffs tend to crumble under abuse.
Id suggest Mintex M1144's or Ferodo DS2000's for medium road use, OR Mintex M1155 / ferodo DS2500's for keen use/track abuse. About the best place for DS2500's is circuitsupplies since they are the sole importer for the uk for those pads and places like tweeks etc buy from them...

[Ash]

yea i just spoke to ben gunn (novaben), and he reccomended the same, he said standard discs are fine with either mintex M1144 or DS2000 (orthough it thought he said DS3000?). so have u got any contact info for circuitsupplies?
cheers

3000's are a bit keen for road use lol.

[Ash]

i forgot we were talking about his rally car, that would explain it lol

2500's or 1155's seem a good well used road pad.. most 205 guys have either of those, and a fair few of the track nova brigade run em too.. so they cant be bad lol.

I jsut paid ?66 for a set of 1155's for late nova gsi calipers. and was quoted about the same for a set of 2500's from CS (couldnt be ****d to get cd to send them out and have to go to the post office etc so my motorfactors got my 1155's in)

[Ash]

think i shoulda got the 2500, ummm. just bought some goodridge hoses of egay for ?38 - bargin
