Default I BELIEVE!!! EBC Green Stuff Pads does = NO MORE BRAKE DUST!!!

Apart from the better feel when applying the brakes, after 10days of driving my mags still look spotless. The first time ever! I wish I'd done it sooner.
There was a little squeaking as they were bedding in but that went after a day.
The pic was taken after the install and before I cleaned the wheels. And the TTQ is H&R lowered.

Only one thing intrigued me. The brake man told me the pads he removed still had about 70%+ life in them, after 50,000km! Maybe I've been too easy on the car.

Default The amount of brake dust is a relative thing. No matter how hard you brake, the amount of brake dust

is still <i>way</i> less than with the OEM pads.

Let hope that they don't warp your rotors as well...

Default I gotsta say I feel screwed on the EBC's, I expected to get a weeks

worth of driving out of them before my wheels where "powder coat black" instead of the 2-3 days I got with the oem pads, alas that's not the case. I get maybe one day extra, maybe. But then again, maybe I'm hell on brakes, although I don't think I am. I'm anxious to try some of the other "low dust" pads like the porterfields. IMO the EBC's were wasted money.
