speedyfix, meron ka ba EBC brake pads for Nissan Patrol?

**speedyfix** · February 2nd, 2004 11:18 AM

pare, no stock ako ngayon for your patrol! sorry!

**boybi** · February 2nd, 2004 12:30 PM

kelan ka magkaroon ng stock?

**speedyfix** · February 3rd, 2004 10:48 AM

not sure yet. around march siguro when the new imports arrive. i'll also need a sample of your pads coz these will differ from model to model. by having a sample (just go to the shop and i'll take the outline) i can be sure i am providing you with the correct part.

thanks!

I bought mine sa HRC sa Banawe near E. Rodriguez yung front set 650 ata ang bili nakalimutan ko na run. So far OK naman ang kapit nito without brakedust, at wala pa rin naman akong naririnig na squeeks, ang ayaw ko lang ay yung pagiging blue color nito

thanks for the info, sauman

It seems EBC availability for my car (local terrano) is not that good. Actually kila speedfix baka may available, pero I live in the south. So shaw or banawe is a bit far for me, just to see if there is an EBC pad that can fit. So tanong muna ako online, less traffic

An alternative is bendix metal kings daw. I have read and including in this thread that its dusty. Minor issue. It eats up the rotor, is this just a rumor or proven fact? It needs to heat up? Major issue for me since I drive a lot of short trips.

I checked out bendix site. http://www.bendix.com.au/_products.asp

Standard and Metail Kings lang ba ang available sa atin? How about 4WD and Performax?

My requirement is just better bite. So I can't really buy racing pads, since I can't to a warm up lap. Also my terrano will hardly reach very fast speed. I do a lot of short trips, its does not bite well on traffic sudden stops.

Rats is offering this australian brand (forgot the name) for 3k. Are they any good? He claims that it is better than Metal Kings.

Sorry dami questions. I just want to buy something that will be useful for me.

jkyamog,

Have you tried asking at Prens Auto supply? I'm not sure kung meron EBC dun but malamang meron sila for your Terrano. Malapit lang sila sa Toyota Alabang, hirap lang mag-park dun lagi kasing maraming bumibili at nagpapagawa dun.

Good luck.

**speedyfix** · February 25th, 2004 10:49 AM

not sure about the brands from rats pero the metal kings are a good bang for the buck.

they are proven to eat up into the rotors eventually but if you don't do long hard braking like on the circuit this shouldn't pose a problem for you

**jkyamog** · February 25th, 2004 12:43 PM

Baldo,

Yes I have tried prens, I normally buy from them too. They have bendix standard.

speedfix,

what about the warm up for metal kings? its mentioned by a previous post on this thread.

**speedyfix** · February 26th, 2004 11:12 AM

well, they have a better feel from the very beginning vs the other more aggressive pads (prject mu, winmax, etc) bu then they don't withstand as much heat, or get better after a certain point.

truthfully tho, 90% of the guys who drive will never reach the full potential of the pads kasi these can only be fully exploited sa track or by repeated hard braking.

yung metal kings lagi umuusok sa mga cars na nakaganun sa brc when i go there. my ebc naman are fine even after 4-5 laps

**jkyamog** · February 26th, 2004 12:50 PM

yes i agree. sa akin i just need better bite for my short trips. unlikely i will utilize sports pads.

**jkyamog** · June 5th, 2004 03:49 PM

I bought QFM (queensland friction materials), so far it looks ok. It seems there is less brake dust and a little better bite than OEM nissan pad (take note mga 25% na lang ang OEM nissan pad ko, baka pag bago different siya). Anyway pretty ok naman ako with QFM. Malayo kasi kila speedfix and Autoxer, kaya hanap ako alternatives. Rats was selling QFM. Nag research muna ako about QFM, not much info pero lahat naman nakita ko positive. QFM are custom pad makers now trying to make off the shelf products.

I think its ok for 3k uncluding labor, its just like buying OEM pads + labor.

**jackaroo** · June 5th, 2004 09:18 PM

speedyfix,

What pads would you recommend for the track? What do you carry for a mazda miata- used for both track and street?

**speedyfix** · June 6th, 2004 02:51 PM

ebc's parin for dual use. you can text me nalang so i can reply to you via text when i check on availability tomorrow. i'll text you the prices

i used R-spec before, napudpod agad. now im using bendix metal king din..... but parang may sira preno ko sa likod, may maingay sa rear right wheel pag pumepreno....ano kaya sira nun? mukhang papupuntahin ako ng kotse ko sa speedyfix ah... hehe

**jackaroo** · June 8th, 2004 05:09 AM

speedyfix,
Thanks, i'm using EBC's green stuff now but would like to try something else. Do you have an alternative brand with more bite, less fade?
