Indeed, off topic, i intend to fit ebc discs and oe pads, on topic, and if fitting goodridge at the same time then itvwill be difficult to say which component gives what improvement.
It seems 'feel' is very important to you in general - any reason you're going for OE pads rather than something more aggressive (YellowStuff work very well on the MR2, ought to work well on the Omega too)?
Big heavy lump Like the omega, and possible reports of red pads feeling dead when cold, green not man enough,which rings true with the bike pads as well, ebc black lasted 2 days, green a week, oe ok on a cbr6 then ebc came out with double sintered hh pads which i loved and stuck with. Hh not available for cars though sadly.
tc omega pads i have encountered are dead at the pedal but stop ok...ish.(there may be some product variation with tc pads as others seem happy with them :-/ )
oe omega pads give longevity, feal, barely any dust by comparison, last very well and stop very well, so ime, i am reluctant to change pads although oe are very expensive. I am under the impression oe are for new discs, as there are no massive shamfers on them like tc pads have...?
Yellow stuff are fairly new i believe? I know little about them, and given that red are out for me, are yellow likey to suit? Where do yellow fit in the product range? Cant see them being up to the job tbh, but must keep an open mind.... :-/
