Greens aren't recommended by EBC for use on Scoobs and Evo's (and similar) as they aren't up to the performance and weight. They are more suited to hot hatches. I have heard good things about the Yellow but I'm afraid once bitten. I tried the Reds, and although they performed well with acceptable retardation from cold, good from hot and were OK for dust and noise, I wore them out in 6k miles. To put this into perspective, the OE pads which were half worn when I bought the car did 9k before I moved to Reds. The Ferodo DS2000's I have been using since have now done 14k and at the last MOT the inspector said they were near the indicators and would need changing before long. That was 2k ago, and a trackday, and they are still not making that awful noise and visibly show 2mm on both sides of the caliper. They are quieter, cleaner and better in every respect, but not massively, except obviously on wear where they win hands down. I have bought some Mintex 1155's to replace them and will see how they go.

Between Greens and Reds I choose Yellows!!!
They are really much better pads from the other two.

Greens are not recommended.

Reds for road use only.

Yellows for track / road use.
