brake fade... green stuff...
 
i know what people are going to say lol, ive got a big disc conversion 283 mm gti-6 discs, and im using green stuff bads, i do about ten laps of where we go and they start to fade quite bad, its like 90 - 30 mph twice each lap... is this cause of me having green stuff do u think ?

going to get mintex 1144s i think ?

green stuff imo are shite. i had then with my standard disc's and they were abit pants. however, landy has them on his setup and he thinks they are mint but thats just for normal driving not for track use.

mintex ftw i heard green are shite but alright once warmed up, but make the discs fade quicker!

put it this way, there was smoke coming off my front ones ... and quite a bit... and they faded to the point there was naff all stopping... ive searched and seen about these mintex, persoanlly i think standard with standadrd disc size faded less than these doo now..

Also, if i buy these mintex will i need new discs ? only been on there 1000 miles or so...

the pads are hard as feck and only work when properly heated up.. i.e when there being used on a track.. even then they have a very narrow operating temp where they actually work well and there prone to cooking themselves.

funny you should say that, i had mine smoking last night, so i doubt its a problem witht hem getting hot.
