Hello!!!
Today I got a quote for a set of pads for the 480 made by EBC,famous for their "Green Stuff" and "Red Stuff" pads/discs....
I thought I'd post this in case any of you were looking for a marked improvement in stopping ability.I know one club member has fitted these standard replacement ones,known as "Black Stuff" ( !),and said that they were noticeably better than Volvo Textar ones.
Anyway the guy I dealt with was Simon Warner at Graham Goode Racing.Email simon@grahamgoode.com
The prices he quoted me were £30.86 for the ATE system for the not so early 480s.If yours is an earlier 480 you may have a Girling system fitted,pads for this set-up are a much more wallet-friendly £18.61.Rears are £14.68.
Part Nos are DP 838 for Girling
DP 989 for ATE
DP 447-2 for the rears,either system.

Just wanted to add that 2nite I fitted my front EBC Black Stuff Kevlar Pads.
I've been running the rears for a month.
With the fronts too its miles better than Volvo Textar.Noticeable straight away in stopping power.
Anyway P/No.s DP989 for ATE Front Vented Calipers.DP447/2 for ATE or Girling/Lucas rears.
Wont be fitting std ones again!

@ Murf
I would go to http://www.proven-products.co.uk/ mate.
I went to EBC Direct as I wanted to order online.They were about £10 more.
I expect this suggestion will appeal to you,given that you're a Scotsman! Muahahahahaaaaaa!
