I'd start of with some Mintex 1144's then work upwards if you want more.

Deffo wouldn't touch the greenstuff

i have Green stuff on mine, although they havent chewed the discs ( may as they are uprated aswell). The stopping power seems pretty weak to me. Although i have nothing to compare it too other escort wise.
