Seen advertised EBC pads and seen some in local factors ( green red blue ) I assume for different braking usage. Never heard of them are they any good and if so do they have any inherrant problems like brake fade etc.

Yes, very good - even better when warm. little, if not zero, brake dust.
Green ones would prob be the best.

Paddock have a special on 'em at the moment, ISTR. Or newly available, or something.
Hirsty Hi,
fellow members of the club have used them on D110 (with the 3.5 carburated engine), a Camel Trophy 200Tdi Discovery (which weights around 2.800 kgs) and a RaRo 4.6 HSE.
All of them are extremely satisfied, report extremely low levels of brake dust and a huge difference in brake fading.
Take care Pantelis
Good enough to get the back off the ground on my CBR at MPH

Hmm. might try them on the 300 TDi - that has iffy braking, sometimes, although I don't think it's fade per se, since it happens most often with the brakes cold. I don't suppose a new set of pads would hurt it though.

hehe. Mind, 'most any brakes should do that on a modern sports bike.
I don't have this trouble with the 1974 BMW, with TLS drum.
They've been available for ages from some reatailers. Cough!

Don't need a servo either!! TonyB
Very good. I fitted them (green) to my Disco, along with stainless hoses and drilled vented front disks. The fluid was changed at the same time.
The brake performance was transformed - easy to lock up at almost any speed and absolutely no fade that I could detect in normal use. I may have imagined it, but they perhaps felt a little 'soft' on the first use of the day, as if there was something to be rubbed off the surface of disk and / or pad.
I bought the bits from David of this parish - not a lot more expensive than the standard genuine parts. Of course, fitting those parts would probably have made a big difference to my well worn setup as well....
