bolarbag Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Hi All, After a complete cock up of sending me up the wrong pads from Envyperfromance, (They Phoned to mention they couldnt supply all 4Pads from Endless the next day after already sayin they could. They could only supply the fronts the next day, next day opened my package n wot do you know, Rears n No Fronts...which I desperately need!!!!) So I ordered a set of fronts from my local supplier who assured me that they had ordered a set of J-Spec Fronts to arrive the next day n what do you know.....a set of UK Fronts........AAArrrrgghhh!!! SO now I really really need a set of front pads, need to keep the car off roads til these new pads arrive...if the arrive. Sorry about my moan just a bit of frustration...my question is does anybody know the correct code for the EBC Red Stuff Pads for a J-Spec Supra, the bloody boffins from EBC dont even Know!!!! Many Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I'd advise against using EBC pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolarbag Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 Why would you advise against EBC Brakes, they werent my first choice either, its more to do with the traders situation, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markrzs Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I had both the Red stuff and Green on my EBC discs when I had my GT4 and they were shocking. That was even after they bedded in. I personally would'nt buy them again,Get some Chris Wilson specials ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolarbag Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 After doina bit of research found out its the 1223's that are used on the IS300, But I wasnt really sure of them, was goin for endless but I wanted them for this weekend... So, do you mean they wore fairly quickly, they didnt brake very good or they where just shit, at 92quid, they aint cheap, how much are CW's?

Dave F Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Had green stuff on my old MR2 great for keeping wheels clean shit for stopping with! Apparantly they have changed the compound since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Got loads of Porterfield pads in stock for Jap & UK spec brakes, all compounds ALWAYS available if needed. Give me a shout if you get stuck. Better than that EBC rubbish, worst pads I've ever tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveL Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Porterfields are excellent - used them for 4 years on and off track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
