Just wondered if anyone has ever used EBC greenstuff brake pads?
I have heard EBC HH's and Carbone Loraine SBK3's mentioned many times on here but not these.

They are some sort of kevlar composite.

Any comments good or bad?

EBC got a good write up in Jaguar Enthusiasts magazine last year - apparently reduce the black dust that fouls up your wheels as well. I was thinking of poting them on my XJ6 next time I need pads - but I don't brake that often anyway - I use my eyes & gearbox to maximise speed and minimise slowing down! Whether its a 2 ton, 4ltr car or a 1/2 ton, 3/4 ltr bike, fast cornering and minimum braking is at the heart of having fun!

A lot of people use them on mini's, they are quite highly rated and are fine for the road as they work from cold. Also make less dust than standard pads.

EBC kevlar pads are wank compared to OE brembo stuff in terms of ultimate stopping power.
