260Z Brakes Help/advice

[andrew muir]

Have just been trying to buy front pads for 260z standard calipers, my go to pad was the EBC greenstuff, but have just been informed that they are no longer availiable and are being discontinued!!
Does anyone have a source for these in the UK, or an alternative fast road pad??

Andrew, do they still do those pads for the Ford Capri?

I think they are similar but need the pin holes enlarging.

Has anybody tried or have experience of the carbotech pads?
I believe they make some for the S30 standard calipers.
I think they may be a bit expensive??

Can't remember what mine are called now but I went on a US Z site and they were all raving about some pads which I found a UK agent for

I'm sorry that's not much help cos I can't even remember which site it was but I'll have a search

Rob is right,ford Capri pads,think you have to sand them down a bit also

 

[andrew muir]

If a am paying full price would rather get ones that fit properly rather than modding some.
Although it may come to that.
I am in contact with a chap from Carbotech to see what prices he come up with. I believe they can offer a re-lining service as well. And do performance shoes for drums!!
