Hey guys,

I know this is a repost, and I know it has been discussed.

But I would like a follow up review from you guys that have these pads.

State if you have followed brake in produres, and whether you installed new rotors along with the pads.

State how many miles you have driven on these pads. And how much pad life is left (brand new? half way used up?).

How hard do you drive your car? 1 being groceries getter and 10 being all time track machine.

Any complaints? noise? dust? during hot or cold weather? better then stock? better then ceramic pads?

Well, as they say, there is a first time for everything rolleyes.gif biggrin.gif
This was my first time trying greenstuff pads, they may well be OK with a different car. If you are going to use them on a car thats a daily runner, I`d say they would be OK and will probably do the job required of them. If your gong to use them on a car where the driving is going to be a little more "spirited" then I would stay well clear, they squeek in the wet and sometime when they are cold, and are pretty much useless when the brakes heat up to higher than normal road use temps. Where I live, there are lots of twist country single track lanes (as well as multilane highways) and once youve braked hard a couple of times you almost have to double the peddal pressure to stop/slow in a hurry, really bad brake fade.
Hopefully I`ll find some good pads soon before I crash into something, which is never good. frown.gif
