Rich Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Anyone got these? Would like to know what the wear is like with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIH Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 I always thought Greenstuff were pretty good but I've heard alot of nay-sayers recently. Probably better with the likes of Ferodo, higher-end Mintex etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably better with the likes of Ferodo, higher-end Mintex etc. I'd heard the old type weren't too good, the pad breaking up I think but they have revised this and suppose to be alot better. The fronts would cost me £50 and I don't wanna get them if they're no good. I've got mintex atm and they've stopped making the extreme ones for the mondeo so maybe I will try Ferodo but I'm wondering if they will brake as well as the EBC ones :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 What's their selling point? and is there a specific type of friction disc required to compliment the pads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 What's their selling point? and is there a specific type of friction disc required to compliment the pads? For fast road use, good performance from cold, minimal brake dust....normally use them with grooved/drilled discs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For fast road use, good performance from cold, minimal brake dust....normally use them with grooved/drilled discs. Means they run hot..... Do you have to change the brake fluid?

Don't think anyone has on MEG, I'm just curious as to whether the price is justified. I've been happy with my mintex but I've noticed the performance is dropping off although these is still a good few thousand miles left in them, if not more.

Mark H. Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 I usually use red but just put some yellows on the front, not used green before though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-O Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I usually use red but just put some yellows on the front, not used green before though. I got greens all round on the 5 and the brake dust (particularly on the front) is horrendous - its not like i am standing on them hard either ! Decent enough performance though - i think i'll try either the mazda OEM ones next (highly rated) or perhaps some track spec mintex pads (1155's?)- i've always liked those.
