Editing Brake pads (section)

===Additional Info===
Bits and pieces of knowledge I found and gathered from other forums and/or websites while researching:

EBC keeps updating their compounds but name stays the same. This makes it hard to get accurate real-world data.<BR>

They had a crisis of sh*t pads back in the mid-'00s. Since then, things have improved dramatically. It takes a very short time to destroy a good reputation, and ages to rebuild it.

Andy Freeman (owner of EBC), quote from 2011: "Redstuff is now in its SEVENTH formulation reblend and may change again, every time we get feedback or new ingredients come out we add them in to the blends and re test.<BR>
Other quote's from him (2008): "Latest Yellowstuff is DM 1793 and DM 1846 which has been around for a year and is used on all UK Police chase cars and race use and adopted by Silverstone on their Elise's and Porsche fleet yet is fully streetable and a brilliant pad. The 1846 is fine for street but track work should always now use the 1793 version and that is what Silverstone use."

(comment from 2007) One of the [[http://arc.seloc.org/viewthread.php?tid=126236&page=1#pid2778366| comments]] about EBC from forum from a user (Simon S) that has used a lot of brake pads: <br>
"EBC *anything* are just shite cheap crap, Greens are IMHO dangerous for anything other than light road use, Reds are not much better, and don't work well when pushed hard (as in overheat and break up), Yellows are rock hard and just do not offer the same level of retardation and pedal feel the OEM pads to when push come to shove... they also crumble when really pushed (and I had them actually catch fire!)."<br>

My own experience with Greenstuff (2019-2020): work well on the road, but would like more safety margin when blasting at speed through on curvy mountain road for 2 hours (FYI: hitting ABS frequently). For Track use (Assen) they work about 45 minutes when fading starts and if you continue all brake power will go away completely - not recommended for (dry) track use. I would hit ABS in almost every corner. On wet track had no issue at all.
