EBC GREENSTUFF PADS......
Does anybody run these pads? I have hawk hp + pads and they are REDICULOUSLY LOUD! I need to get some bads but want at least equal braking as the stock Z. I had these on my LT4 years ago but cant remember how well they worked.

I put the RayBestos ceramic pads in and they are great so far (about 2k miles). Quiet, grab great, no fade I can notice, and about 90% less gunk on my rims than those factory crap pads.

Re: EBC GREENSTUFF PADS...... (Richin Chicago)
I agree I have at least 25K on a set and will replace them soon and probably use the same pads, I havn't run extended time on a track but they are great on the street, no noise and little dust--I can't remember how much they are--

Re: EBC GREENSTUFF PADS...... (vettethret)
I have a set on my Mercedes SLK and REALLY like them. In fact, I like them a bit better than my Raybestos on the Corvette. They have a real nice feel at the pedel and nearly no dust. They last a long time too.
You won't be disappointed!

Right now one of the supporting vendors Rev Xtreme has a GP going on them for 89.99 front and 59.99 rear. Also a pretty nice deal on some dimpled and slotted rotors...

Re: EBC GREENSTUFF PADS...... (vettethret)
The greenstuff do not belong on a Corvette. They caused fade in a single stop from 100, and blackend/crazed the rotors. EBC replaced them with Redstuff - far superior. EBC indicated that redustuff have longer life, better fade resistance, and less dust. I asked why they offer greenstuff - they indicated that they are a little cheaper.
I will run Redstuff from here out...

Mine leave crap on wheels, and even chunk with hard driving. It's Hawk or Green Stuff for me next time.

In fairness, it probably was an earlier flavor of the greenstuff that I had. Though after driving with the redstuff, I am not sure why anyone would buy the green - unless you are really pinching pennies...

No warmup needed with redstuff. They seem like an ideal performance street pad.
