What do you guys think???

I would like some nice brake power, but the "almoast no dust", is the thing i really want.

They should be installed with some 3GD Drilled and Slotted Sport discs.

Lets hear your opinions...

Greenstuff will do fine in a road car. Yellow, and red stuff are for race cars where the brakes need to be heated up considerably to work. They're almost useless as daily brake pads and maybe even dangerous.

Did you try them?

Dunno about anyone else but ive got green stuff and my alloys are black with dust

Ditto. I also found the greenstuff to need slight warming up to work best. Once they are warm though they are absolutely awesome and the stopping power is much better over standard pads.

Agreed.
I find even the Green a bit dead initially.
I prefer Mintex 1144.

Thanks for your replies

No one here have used the red ones?

I've only heard good things about Mintex and they'll be what I go for when I overhaul my brakes in the next month or so.

I think the chances of increasing brake power AND reducing dust are slim.

Most pads get better grip by being softer, and therefore shed more dust.

There's no point in road cars using race pads.

EBC REDSTUFF CERAMIC
* High Performance Road M3, Evo, Impreza etc.
* Generally recommended for cars producing over 200BHP and / or 4WD

bit of a contradiction in your post there...

no point in road cars using race pads...that are marketed as high performance road pads

I've read the EBC info about all of them.

But is not like hearing some comments from who have them or had them installed...

Here is a sensible look at choosing pad type to suit your usage, it's from a Yank but he talks good sense:

i think unless you've tried them then you have no clue what your talking about

i use ebc yellow stuff on my mx5 and it bites brilliantly from stone cold and gets better and better the hotter they get

so if its that useless and dangerous on a road car why am i still here after using them for 1 year +

not to mention it would probably have a massive warning label saying NOT FOR ROAD USE

answers on a postcard.

also i don't think i get alot of dust with them BUT, my wheels are black so hard to tell and i do little mileage

Black wheels become matt black wheels when dirty which is excellent...
