Hi,
That's good to hear, a set of EBC pads arrived last week and is awaiting installation on my TR4. They were on back order for a couple months (And that's a giveaway that I also got them from TRF, right?).
Do you have plain rotors on your car, or cross-drilled or drilled and slotted? I ask because I've been considering cross drilling mine. I've got drilled and slotted rotors on my Land Rover, and they really help keep the brakes cool stopping that 2 ton beast. My only objection is that they are a little noisy at all times, the slots seem to be the culprits. Drilled-only rotors I've used in the past haven't been nearly as noisy.
From what I understand, Green Stuff pads sell out almost as quickly as they arrive from England.
EBC is gradually expanding their line, so the poster with the '73 might try to get them again.
There are 4 different compounds, apparently, with the green pads being the most street-worthy and most widely sold. The blue are a little more race oriented, probably harder on rotors, but still usable on street. The black and yellow are strictly race compounds, need to reach a higher heat range before they become really effective and are harder on rotors.
Somewhere I saw kevlar shoes for Triumph rear brakes, not sure if they are for TR4 or TR6 or both, though. I think maybe Ted Schumacher has them at

I would have a little concern about locking up the rear drums, though, with too aggressive a compound. Overheating might also be a concern. (I've got Alfin drums on backorder, too!)
Again, thanks for the report on Green Stuff. I can't wait to get the car back on the road and try them out!
Cheers!
Alan
