imprexa99 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I got the wheels refurnished at Lepsons, in swindon. They performed a complete refurnishment, acid dipped and then colour coded. I would highly recommend them. They can also perform machine polish and diamond cut alloys. I will next be getting my old cloth seats re-trimmed in white/black leather next month.., Anyone know any good companies to take my seats to? Also if anyone is interested in the red leather seats then pm me. When they are available I will put them up on here at a reasonable price.

MITZ@CougarStore Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Sorry to digress but I hope they’re not Greenstuff brake pads on your Zed, as they’re not designed for the 350z, the replacement pads are the Redstuff pads, the Greens shouldn’t be used at all… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Love them, great job I wouldn't be too quick to ditch the red seats though, I think they look great with the white! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're not designed for the Z, why to ebc sell them? The pad fitment is shared with many cars, EBC have the Greens for cars producing less than 200bhp and anything over should have the Reds… EBC don’t advertise the Greens for the Zed, only the Reds and Yellows. If you look through all the EBC catalogues you’ll see that the Reds are standard pads and that the Yellows are the Upgrade for all 350z… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought from EBC direct, and had no mention of that. I just had the choice of green or red. I thought red's were more for race as they take awhile to heat up, and dont work great when cold? I dont hammer the car around so find the green pads ok. But I will take your advice & change them when its next serviced. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunset350z Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 The car looks great If i was you i'd ditch EBC all together and go for Ferodo DS2500 pads, seriously!! I had reds on my civic type r and they were totally crap, even to the point where i couldn't slow down enough at a roundabout, and if it wasn't for the great handling of the car would of ended up going side ways straight over the roundabout and flippin it in the process. As it was, just had a minor accident in my boxers Went out and bought/fitted OEM brakes the next day and what an improvement that was.

I have got to admit they're not great. Although they now have newer improved versions, and the current pads on my Zed are not bad, but not great...
