Replacement Brake Pads

[woof]

Duh - need front pads for a C5 Z06 fairly urgently
(eg - I stupidly let them wear done to - well nothing !)

Can't find a specific part no or brand on the web - and hoping that mind find something off the shelf this weekend that will do the job

Otherwise I'll just wait till Monday and speak to Ian Goss

Try OCW (http://www.americancarparts.co.uk/) as they as Acdelco agents which are the OE. Discount for CCCUK members.

EBC - what's the general opinion on the brand ?

EBC Red Stuff is good, wears well, works hot or cold no problems and doesn't fade anywhere near as fast as the standard brake pads. EBC Green Stuff should be avoided on the 'vette as it wears out way too quickly. I had Red Stuff on the front for 10,000 miles, then put Green Stuff on the rear, 15,000 miles later the rears had worn right out but there was still a satisfactory amount of meat on the fronts.

I've also got the EBC slotted and dimpled discs on the car at the moment but wouldn't buy another set as they're rather noisy and the black coating around the centre quickly fades to a mottled grey.

MR Goss to the rescue
