Default The thing is, a brake that stops better will make more dust. Depends on what you are comparing to.
I had EBC greens and they performed very well in daily driving. They were noisy for a bit but that stopped after awhile.
You will see a lot of people love or hate 'em . That goes for the Mintex Red Box pads also.
