They any good?

where can i get them from?

apart from the fact they give loads of brake dust off do they actually make any difference at all against standard pads.

Just running standard calipers and discs btw

Cheers

they dont give much brake dust off at all.

they are about £45 and a total waste of money as most people on here will tell you. get some Mintex 1144's, they are alot better and a bit cheaper.

Green stuff pads were no better than standards imo, didnt rate them or the discs. For brake upgrades go for gti-6 ones.

Green stuff :n:

Mintex M1144 :y:

The Mintex take a few sec's to warm, but after that they are good even on standard discs.
