9-5 NG Rescue project

[sgould]

I've only had a pad delamination on EBC Greenstuff.  I looked at the pictures and realised that was 20 years ago!!   I found out later that Greenstuff are only recommended for small cars of less than 200hp.  The previous owner had fitted them for their "low dust".  I lost one pad and the others were on their way.

I have used Pagid, Ferodo, Mintex and Brembo with no issues, as well as the OE ones which I think are ATE.  The 345mm Hirsch pads were Ferodo 4488 which I haven't come across on the aftermarket.

I have had at least two sets delaminate on OG 9-5's - on road cars I have tended to use Pagid (Mintex)

On the NG 9-5's this car arrived with one delaminated, and to get me through the MOT just chucked in one of the spares from the petrol NG. The disc was a little damaged already, because of the failure, so perhaps it was more grabby than usual, but not enough to show on the rollers.

I one tried EBC Greenstuff as an alternative to Mintex M144 (yes, that long ago). They were not as good, suffered from fade and apparently caused terror in the EBC technical department when they got to hear the application I had tried them on....
