John FISH Curtis Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Worth fitting on an S1? Reason- I have £100 of EliseParts vouchers Improved brakes Reduced Unsprung weight Will they work with GreenStuff pads (untill I replace them)?

russelld Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 John, Are your current discs down to their limit ? If not I would change the pads from EBC. I doubt you would feel any difference changing the discs and staying with the EBC pads. If you change to decent pads you will notice a huge difference. CL5's are awesome. Russ.

DeanB Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Russ is right. Nothing works with Greenstuff! If you want a cheaper option than the CLs mintex 1144s are good. I bet Carbon Lorraines are better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve J Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I have a few sets of part used pagid rs14 pads if you want to see what the difference from greenstuff is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladders Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I've got the Ali belled discs. Not sure how much difference they made but they worked really well when I fitted them and put the SBS pads on at the same time (no longer available).

Yes please......... i'll send you a Message. I am supprised people do not change from standard sold discs to lighter versions.......... I have yet to find an Elise owner say Ali bells are better or they could notice a difference with them being lighter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhall89 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Elise Parts Alubells are superb and look even better; I use them with Mintex 1144 for road use - bin the Green Stuff!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John FISH Curtis Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 Have just ordered 4x Ultimax Turbo Discs. Just need to SWAP THE EXISTING PADS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chorton_1 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Funny thing is that I have never had a fade issue on track with Greenstuff, but would agree that the feedback on them is very poor. Certainly worth a change to something else before an ali disk option though, to see if that gives you what you're after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
