Does anyone know which UK website do the EBC greenstuff in a good price? Cos thinking if upgrading the pads and the stainless steel brake lines for my 530i.

So far the cheapest i found:
Front: ?74.91
Rear: ?53.36

Both from: http://www.europerformance.co.uk/

Any thoughts or comments will be appreciated

Cheers
Keith

Greenstuff is a fine upgrade from stock, although I've heard they don't bite well when initially cold.
For 13 pounds extra you can get the Redstuff version (front & rear).

If you have high speed fading issues (like me ), Redstuff is supposed to be the pad to beat. I'm installing mine in March.

SS brake lines are awesome...story here.


I checked with http://www.brakes4u.co.uk/ about the same prices you mentioned.

good luck with the mod.
