Hi,

I got EBC greens and they shagged my standard discs. However, I ended up with a set of greens AND their turbo grooves - and they are excellent. Horrible droning noise when breaking from high speed (gets less as you pour on the miles), but stopping power is (marginally) better than standard set up. And considerably cheaper. Can't remember how much exactly, but pads and discs were not that much more than a set of dealer-fitted pads.

Cool

I was running EBC green with Tarox disks, better than standard but not that much, no brake dust which is nice... am now running Mintex 1155 with the same disk and find that stopping power is a little better but am also getting a lot less fade when using hard. The Mintex pads have more dust than my hoover, which is not nice...
Next up I shall mostly by using Pagid Blue...

I've got greens fitted - and agree with the other comments; marginally better than standard.
