Had them on a small Rover 200 (grooved/dimpled) and they were crap. Would never use them again or Green stuff pads as they eat disks.

I had trouble with my brakes when they were standard, squeaking, noisey etc, I put a set of green stuff pads in and they seemed to be sweet, upgrade followed

I have 2wd sapphy cos, I use el cheapo discs, £28 a pair have no problems with them, I have used EBC REDSTUFF CERAMIC pads and they were ace, greenstuff V4 were good but modern V7 are crap.
Nothing even comes close to YELLOWSTUFF though, have used all the ferrodo, and mintex, gave them all away in the end.
Yellowstuff one of few POLICE approved FRV pads as well.

i agree, they where shit a few years ago but now they seem very good, i havnt cooked them either after alot of abuse and they seem very responsive and no judder etc after being hot, but the thing youi have to remember everyone one thinks what ever they use is always best !
