i used tar-ox discs with green stuff pads for a while, and hd no probs at all, just be sure to follow the instructions on bedding them in cos i think this shortens the life of the disc if you brake too hard in the first 200ish miles

I upgraded to Black Diamond grooved and drilled discs with predator pads and this improved it 100%.

Drove my mates who has EBC discs and Greenstuff pads and this seemed to stop well also.

I think the best thing to do is match up the with the same discs and pads eg: EBC, Tar Ox etc cause when they are designed they are done so with the same make other component.

well there not designed for track use so they would go like that, lmao

if you want track pads try yellow or redstuff pads by EBC as these are designed for that!

Or you could try some mintex pads as most of the rally boys use these.
