i have greenstuff pads and ebc brake discs and they have warped, people say they have nightmares with this setup, i have recently bought some black diamond discs and wondered if these would be ok with the green stuff pads or should i go for a different set of pads?
any help appreciated thx

yep that's correct main reason being the warped discs would cause the pads to wear uneven so when you put new discs on not all the pad touches the disc

EBC stuff is atrocious. BTW, greenstuff pads are manufactured by them too. Just stick with GM stuff, its pretty much the best you can get. Beats all this lame stuff to the ground, unless you are spending lots of money on hi-spec, wilwood stuff etc

no black diamond are pretty much the same sort of thing. Just get yourself some astra GTE ATE calipers with 256x24mm discs and GM pads, you will stop in no time then

I didnt realise that children stop stepping out in front of your car anymore, also i wasnt aware that motorists ahead of you no longer brake hard to avoid accidents just so you dont pile into the back of them
