I wouldn't really recommend greenstuff from what i've heard people say... too soft and there are a few ZR folks who have had problems with them (braking surface peeling away from the metal backing).

OE (SMC Cars are normally a great price - at least i think that's what they are called. They have an eBay shop.) or Mintex are ones i've heard recommended.

Mintex or TarOx are a safe bet.

As above I wouldn't touch Green or Red stuff pads with someone else's barge pole. EBC quality has gone right down the pan over the last few years. First if was just the disks but it seems the pads have followed - plus they give off a ton of dust!

I've been running EBC greenstuff pads front and rear (with EBC grooved discs on the front) for almost three years now and have never had an issue with them and they have performed well in all conditions. I don't think they give off that much brake dust either.

I have greenstuff pads on the front of my car and while they are very good pads they are absolutely filthy ,i hear good reports about mintex right enough
