Do you not find the greenstuff pads annihilate your disks? I fitted some to my daily driver (e36 328) as the brakes were a bit disappointing, they've been on there for nearly 8000 miles and i need to change them at the weekend. I fitted new disks at the same time and they will need changing with the next pads

Rob,

seconded. I found that greenstuff pads were shit form cold and didn't really offer that much bite even when warm. i swapped to ferodos and the difference was like night and day. instant bite and no fading when they get hot.

ferodo ds2500 is shit compared to eps pagid blue or yellow! no nasty sounds and bite from 0 degrees..
and they don't eat disks...

carbon lorraine is also pretty sweet. but they leave a lot of dust!

I was on about ferrodo dsp's not ds2000, and dsp's are certainly not shit certainly not for a road car imo

I don't find my Greenstuff's too bad really. Got them fitted on my daily E30 and that brakes well, and my RST does too. Got no experience of the Feroro's tho, and I've heard they're good. Might try them next time around.
