green stuff front pads LNF

Have you used them and how were they braking and amount of dust left over stock brembo pads ?

want less dusting these are 30% better than stock pads according to their website i chose these over their red stuff pads which are 80% less dusting..i have a headach from all the reading on brake pads..

Just ordered a set of fronts, wanted to limit dust but keep some of the aggressive braking of the brembo's.

stock pads beat out all hawks and ebc period. but if your not driving the car as hard then these are fine but they do not outperform the stockers.

this is true and like i said for guys that dont drive their cars hard its fine. personally i would NEVER run ebcs in anytihng. ive seen them fail more then once. most people here just want less brake dust. i was my car often enough to not car about brake dust.

Then dont post in my thread, i did not ask if they were better i already read that they were not before i purchased them..

I want to evaluate this brake pad over time, right now it seems to be a very good pad for the use, if i wanted a racing pad i would have purchased one.

i want solid braking with less dust, the stock pad was not providing that.

leaving your thread. whoever told you ferrodos are worse then ebcs is wrong by far. ive seen more ebcs crumble apart, catch on fire etc etc to ever want to run them even on the street. good luck to you with your pads.

Ferrodo ftw!

Wax your wheels. Then the brake dust wipes off with no effort at all.

All problems solved, thank me later.

Besides, i'm sure anyone that's been on this site for more than 5 minutes knows how **** retentive i am about keeping my car clean. Brake dust happens. Find a way to deal with it. I won't sacrifice performance because i'm too lazy to wipe off my wheels once a week ROFL.

EBC's are ****. Plain and simple. I would recommend sticking with the stockers, but if you REALLY must switch, I'd recommend switching to some Hawk HP+'s. Nothing lower than that on the performance scale.

Ferodo is best. If you don't want dust, don't use your brakes.
