BRAKE PADS
The well-known brake pads
of EBC can be fitted to the MGF as well. They do three types of pads:
![]() ![]() |
EBC Greenstuff Roadsport Compound These pads are suitable
for all fast road applications including hot hatches and fast sedans.
Features and Benefits
of Greenstuff: Brown & Gammons:
£ 39.99 for a set for the front |

EBC Redstuff Semi-metallic Compound By EBC described as
"The Ideal Track Days Pads, suitable for light to medium race applications,
fast road usage by heavier cars and track day use. Features and Benefits
of Redstuff: Brown & Gammons: £ 69.98 for a set for the front |
Although I don't know if the following pads are available for the F, I'll add them to make the EBC family complete.

EBC Yellowstuff Full-Race Compound By EBC described as "suitable for heavier race and rally cars, touring cars and endurance race cars (not for highway use)" Yellowstuff is EBC's longest lasting full race compound, again exhibiting zero brake disc damage. Yellowstuff has an average friction level of 0.34µ delivering awesome stopping power right up to 900ºC. Yellowstuff was rated best race car brakes by UK's largest circulation motorsport magazine, Max Power, in 1999. Features and Benefits
of Yellowstuff: |
Brown and Gammons are also
offering the following brake pads, but I could find much info about them:
- EBC front brake pads, Street Kevlar: made from Space Age Dupont Kevlar material,
will stop you faster. Suitable for normal use. (£ 29.99 for a set)
- EBC rear brake pads, Street Kevlar: made from Space Age Dupont Kevlar material,
will stop you faster. Suitable for normal use. (£ 29.99 for a set)
From several reports, I
could conclude that the EBC greenstuff pads are excellent for road use, proving
you slightly better stopping power and (very impressive) less brake dust on
the alloys. On the otherhand, they wear rather fast causing a lot of brake dust
when used in race applications.
The greenstuff perform better when used in combination with EBC Turbo grooved
discs or the Rover Motorsport brake discs.
Mike Satur has probably
the same pads available:
- Kevlar front brake pads, black for road use. (£ 28.00 for a set)
- Kevlar rear brake pads, black for road use. (£ 28.00 for a set)
and some other brake pads:
- FX Motorsport front road pads. (£ 34.00 for a set)
- FX Motorsport rear road pads. (£ 34.00 for a set)
New from Mike are the SBS Ceramic brake pads.
They are available
for the AP calipers (found on the MGF Trophy and the MGTF's):
- for street and track use (disc temp up to 1022° F): ceramic technology
pads (£98.46 plus vat).
- for race use (disc temp to 1292° F): carbon-ceramic technology (price
still unknown).

Mike
Satur's aluminium and titanium 4 pot calipers
"Now available, after some extensive development our own aluminium and
titanium 4 pot calipers, anodised red for striking looks and corrosion protection,
titanium for the pistons was chosen over stainless for lightness. To fit these
calipers we will supply them with :- 2x 280mm discs, set of stainless hoses,
brake pads as a complete kit at £540.00 plus vat. Limited stocks only."
(Mike Saturs website)
AP 4
pot calipers
The MGF LE Trophy 160 had them standard and later on they became standard equipment
on the TF160 and every TF that had the Sports Pack 2 option. They are a no go
together with the 15" wheels and not every 16" wheel can be fitted
when these calipers are in place. If you're looking for the best stopping performance
and you've got TF160, Trophy or another set of wheels that can host these beauties,
they are worth considiring. (click thumbnails to have them enlarged)
