Are GREEN STUFF brake pads any good?
As above, are they any better than standard pads?

I have heard that the greenstuff are too soft for the weight of the ZS, and more recently i have heard of the braking surface parting company from the metal back.

I had them on the ZR and had no issues with them...

I have never rated EBC!

Pagid and Mintex are the best for road & track work!
