   Hi
   
   I'm need front and rear brake Pads for my VTR?
   
   I cant afford updated calipers ect. Are Green Stuff pads any good?
   
   Front: Green Stuff Rear: Green Stuff
   Front: Green Stuff Rear: Normal cheap stuff
   
   Car only road use, not track. Are EBC too over rated.

   Theres a few pads, theres red and yellow. From what ive read id go for red stuff.
   
   Theres also other pads to consider - carbonne loraine, mintex.
   
   Persoanlly id go for mintex pads for normal driving. http://www.kamracing.co.uk/manufactu...6-8v-1571.html
   
   If you have the money you coul also throw some Group N discs on http://www.kamracing.co.uk/manufactu...-vts-1322.html

   Not come across blue stuff, so probably yes, the red,green,yellow are fast road/track use. The setup i posted would be adiquate for road use.

   Might as well get new disks when getting new pads. What you recommend for the disk?
   
   Green Stuff / Red Stuff Front Pads
   
   Normal Cheap s**t Rear Pads
   
   And Disk?

   From what I've read... green stuff are rubbish. I'd go for discs from a motor factors and a good set of pads - Mintex 1144's etc.

    I recomended a disk above if you read my post. Maxtorq group N for £22/disc which is reasonable.

    i have green stuff pads in the front of my vtr and i dont rate them tbh, seem to struggle to stop from like 90 upwards. need to really press the brake pedal to make them work harder.
