Phillip,

I've got a front set of stock pads with *Jay run's into the other room* about 6-7mm of meat left on them....

Actually, looking at these, I'm not sure if they are stock !! Do the stock pad's have a green metal backing !!!

J

Ummmm, how can I explain this.... The stock pads felt like standard pads, while the EBC's have more intial bite to them.

Bad explaination, sorry :P

One of the reasons I got rid of the stock pads was cause they can be noisey. Sometimes they would squeal when pulling up at the lights. But the front disks were pretty glazed over too, so matbe that had something to do with it???

DJ - you'll like the greenstuffs :P Just make sure you get the disc's machined too. I got about 20% better braking from them...

yer the place im geting them done say i might not need machining, they'ree inspect when i come in or the brakes and if the discs need it they'll do it but they say sometimes they are still good for new pads (i doubt they'd wanna be dodgy as i'd be back quick smart if i ass-end saomeone coz the brakes they fitted failed to pull me up properly)

all places machine the discs to be safe when they replace the pads.. but they don't necessarily need to do.. then they pull you up on "minimum thickness" requiring new discs costing a lot - i think its the greatest scam in the automotive industry.

Yeah, that's true. I remember dropping my old car off for a tune and getting a phone call an hour later saying that all the pads need replacing and the discs need machining. I told him that I checked them a week prior and that he was trying to rip me off !!!

He's responce - oh, we'll check again, they might be OK then !!!

Anyway, Sidewaymambo - I've attached a pic of the pads I've got. Don't worry, I've got 4 pads, only took a photo of 2 of them :P

jay..would you able to see any print on them? just want to make sure they are soft enough..thanks..

I might start a quick thread in the maintanace section to see if anyone has seen stock pads before. I'm nude on this, not sure if they are stock or not - I presume they are though.

There isn't any brand name stamped on them (if the were apexi ones etc, I'm sure it'd have their name stamped all over them - damn rice) :)

The numbers that are stamped on them are 6GXu 236M.

I'll see what I can find out.

J

I haven't had any luck yet with trying to confirm that they are factory pads :P

I've done a search around to see if I can find some pics on the net of stock pads, but again, no luck :D

Not sure what you want to do ???

Cheers

Jayson

mine are definitely stock pads (my car was 100% stock when it came in, ecu wasnt even touched so i doubt the pads were lol) so umm yer im taking my car in tomorrow to get brakes done so ill have them from tomorrow onwards (this is only the front ones)

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
