How long EBC Green Stuff brake pads last? I intend to change my stock pads and EBC green move to improve braking performance, I want to know how long will it last (how many miles) and they last longer than the stock?
my stock pads always last 15.000 miles only.
I have Peugeot 206 1.4 8v.
It depends on the car, roads (hills vs. flat, straight vs. curvy), your driving style (aggressive vs. relaxed, down shift compared to the extensive use of brakes), and how heavy the burden that the brakes have to stop (one pilot, a complete vehicle, or a complete vehicle + trailer).
Driving like a bat of hell with a car full load on the winding valley roads while towing a trailer, eat your fuel and brake as if there's no tomorrow. relaxed driving, an empty wagon, flat roads, and down shift instead of a hard braking can save fuel and brake pads.
How long is the warranty on the brake pads EBC? 3 months, 1 year, 2 year shelf life? The above points and the duration of the warranty will give you an idea of how long the EBC pads should last you.
PS: demotion when taking long hills or mountain roads. It'll save you a lot of brake pads and it can save your life. Continuous using your brakes for a long period and / or high speed overheating your brakes. This can shorten your brake pad and rotor life. It can also shorten your life. overheated brakes tend to lose effectiveness. You press harder on the brake pedal and the car slows down less and less, eventually leaving you behind the wheel of a getaway car.

that depends on how you use the brakes. If you tend to ride the brake pedal, you'll need to use the carpet faster. usually if the EBC pads last much longer than stock pads. still, what is the hardest to say.
