Really don't know. I just got them and put into my car. I wasn't thinking about it.

EBC GreenStaff + custom discs

but I know that is it possible to get even EBC RedStaff......

i think we need to get a set of those and a rewar disc swap on the 2.0 turbo Nubira as the current brakes setup can't handle the power... hey klonek78 from where did you order those ??

also red stuff pads are too stiff and are for racing only... trying to brake with those things still cold is almost like not having brakes at all so don't get red stuff for a city drivin car... it is way too dangerous.

no idea... my bembo OEM replacment rotors for my 1.5 SOHC lanos got the same hole pattern as well seems like extra holes for other cars that uses the same size rotors and different bolt pattern.

1. My discs has been made by polish company "ATS" and they said that discs are made from HB200 material (what ever that means). They are able to do ANY discs to ANY car - just anything you want.

2. According to EBC specs RedStaff should be also good for normal driving

The problem is with Yellow and BlueStaff....

IC... many people here opposed the idea of getting the red ones but from the attached chart i see it is OK to do so.

how much did the rotors and the pads set you back?

keep us posted with the installation and performace results.

Performance is very good. It is not the same as BigBrake Kit but I have no problem with braking form 200km/h to 0. Brakes works even they are very hot.

Discs costs 550PLN (about 185$) and pads 300PLN (about 100$)

I know someone to used yellow or blue stuff for his daily driver. But he has a big brake kit (13") so its still probably better than stock on the street.

One thing though.. if your not doing track days theres no point in using a harder pad cuz it just wears your rotors faster
