Jp606 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Hi guys, Looking at changing all 4 discs to the Black Diamond slotted discs and the pads to EBC Red Stuff. Does anyone run this setup/these discs and if so what do you think of them for road/fast road use? I've not heard of Black Diamond before and can't seem to find much info on them. I'd love to run the DBA discs and Ferodo pads but can't quite justify the price for road use. Also going to swap the brake lines for HELs at some point.

MITZ@CougarStore Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 We've been offering them for about 4 years for the 350z - http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/64339-black-diamond-brakes-pads-and-discs-available-from-cougar-store/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jp606 Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 Doh! Should have checked in your forum, it was your online store where I saw them too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Also, for fast road use I would opt for the Yellowstuff pads, which can be seen here - http://cougarstore.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Doh! Should have checked in your forum, it was your online store where I saw them too! Just to add, the Black Diamond pads work hand in hand with their discs too, for both road and fast road use... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jp606 Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 I did look at the yellows, but don't they produce a load of dust? Although to be fair it's silly to go for one pad over the other because of the amount of dust produced.. I thought I read that yellows shouldn't be used with grooved discs?

coldel Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Not sure why you are going EBC, never get great reviews - I had BD discs and pads and they stopped very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jp606 Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 No reason really, thought they were the best to go for but of course open to suggestions. The BD pads sound good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gudzy Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I'm happy with the black diamond discs and pads I got from CS, stopped me well enough at Wales this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleR Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 BD discs are very deceptive. Numberous times I've squeezed on the brakes and the car slows down very fast without the annoying jerk/anchor feeling. Kind of perfect for the zed considering its deceptively fast despite feeling like you're going slowly, works both ways with these discs.

Arran Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Ebc yellows are perfect for road and track they stopped me perfectly on the ring last month 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jp606 Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 Thanks for all the advice. Went for the BD discs and pads from CS Will update once I've fitted them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jp606 Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 (edited) All fitted and pretty much bedded in. Followed the Stop Tech bed in procedure which works really well and quickly. Look nice too Edited August 18, 2013 by Jp606 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jp606 Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 They look good, how do you find the performance of them? Very good. A definite upgrade over original, haven't had a chance to push them yet but general driving they are nice and sharp, even from cold. Braided HEL brake lines being fitted next month with some decent fluid so that should make them even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p4blo32 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Looks great, I recently installed mine that CS supplied a couple of months ago along with Ferodo DS2500 pads all round. When they're warmed up the initial bite and overall feel is very good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
