Do you really think he needs ebc greenstuff? just cause its a cool brand and good for racing, i doubt he will really reach the potential that those pads require, the usually reply is bendix ultimate im not sure if they are that great or that available. For around 150 bux "RG" pads will be about it, ive heard a couple of good stories about them, dunno the bad though. Simon at works auto in bently should be able to point you in the right direction, perhaps i dunno i just want to get him off his lazy ass :D

I thought I was the only one that used em for the low end cheap stuff.

You should be able to get some for under $60 but they will be just pads , nothing too flash.

BAH!

All you people pay WAY too much. I picked up Bendix Ultimate's for the Front (DBA1170, IIRC) for $85 (normally $139) and fitted them MYSELF. Come on people, it's not rocket science!

Stop paying people to do SIMPLE-ASS jobs to your cars!!!!!!!!!

F*ck me, no wonder some bodgy shops stay in operation.

i've got some Lucas Metallic pads in the supra, cost me about $50 for the fronts from Perth Brake Parts, they delivered them for free, and I fitted em myself... I'm thinking of getting some Endless from Japan via Speedworks next time I'm up for some front pads tho...

The Lucas pads do leave quite a bit of dust on the wheels, however, they stop pretty well...

They sell Bendix Ultimates etc which I don't consider low end.

Not top shelf either but good quality

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
