    Waste of time, red stuff is good on track. Otherwise ferodo is the best bet

    Where's the car going to be used firstly, track car only or road/track car?

    Millworms chosen a good choice.

    What discs are you running currently also, are you using the standard brake reservoir or a twin pot version?

    I found the old Greenstuffs to be a good upgrade over std GM pads that I was fading quite badly & the dust on my wheels was horrendous. But EBC have changed compounds numerous times since & bad reviews have gone about since then.

    Ferodo or Mintex stuff you generally can't go wrong with.

    it wont be for the track, id just like better brakes, all the regular discs and pads seem to be cack.
    im running standard equiptment.

    ive heard good things about mintex, but they cost a bomb.
    i think it was 90 pound for pads last time i checked.
    i guess you get what you pay for, as the greenstuffs are half that.

    Green, reds and yellows only really seem to work on cars over 1500kg.

    mintex m1144's are ace but soft.

    plain boring discs (vented of course) and fancy pads ftw.

    I'm not sure about green stuff but I use red stuff on my gt4. They are very good when warmed up but they are very very dusty!

    I had the greenstuff pads on my road car 2 years ago and I couldn't fault them, value for performance you cant complain, like everyone says they are very dusty and ate my discs away haha.

    I was looking at getting them for the nova now because I liked them but hearing bad reviews about the compound ebc use now...
