Calipers are the same of a...?

Postby Mc T » Sun Sep 18, 2016 8:02 pm

Hi,

All the cars I owned I upgraded the brakes by mounting EBC greenstuf. I like them very much, very precise control of braking power and therefore more braking power before grip loss and slidding over the tarmac.

Bud, no greenstuf for the Connect gen1, only the 'standard blacks. I did some searching, is the caliper used on the connect really special made item's? Or are they used also on other fordmodels? I hope so...

Many thanks

Thank you g-man. I should have done that my self :oops: Earlier I have asked official EBC dealers, looked up cataloques and send a request to EBC where i should have googled that. The official channels can't put out a number for the Greenstuff, only standard black pads. Maybe because off in use as a delivery, heavey payload and a driver who thinks he is a formule-1 driver, the Greenstuffs burn out :wink:

I'm driving my connect 2004 1.8 16v only as fun ride, just now and then with some load in the back. So, thank you for your assistance, i will order me a set Green's DP21641.

The set Greenstuff ordered and should arrive this Friday. A make a report of the response of Greenstuff in use of a connect. One important rule, take some time for braking in because of a rough brake-in layer on the surface of the pads. Should you forget that you definitely ruin your discs and pads by overheating. Tomorrow the starting of some other mods: Mounting projectors with angel eyes and a rear axle swap/ on the leafsprings and putting in some minus 40mm springs in front.
