Running EBC Ultimax discs with red stuff pads. I have found them pretty good but other people cant get on with them.

Use the search button mate you'll find loads of info.

red stuff pads are average no more..
DS2500 ferodo's are better pads

similar prices between them makes it a no brainer for me - ferodo ds2500's every day
I can supply either but reccommend DS2500's in performance

Wouldnt put EBC brakes on a bicycle let alone a high performance car or motorbike...

Ferrodo DS2500's or Mintex pads...

+1

I fitted them to my old scoob and they were horrendous, worse than stock. I had one set on bedded them in and then they warped. The garage replaced them, same happened, in the end the greenstuff were the only pads that didn't warp their own discs - garbage.

As for redstuff pads, didn't work from cold at all, dangerous, then after one quite hard breaking run up to a roundabout, do it again once more and awful fade and next to useless.

DS2500 and a decent set of discs all the way.
