Want to know what brake pads are the best buy for the buck. Also, I was thinking EBC Green Stuff brakes are those any good? How about Red Stuff? Give me a good recomendation for fast street use brake pads.
Thanks.

redstuff are for track only and wont stop for crap until theyre warmed up, green stuff arent very good pads for the price. they have poor bite but somehow manage to really tear up the rotor!

i love my green stuff pads.....they always performed fine for me and stopped very well.
i ran them for about a year with cross/slotted rotors and the pad wear was VERY VERY good i drove thousands of miles with that setup and they never let me down

I have only tested OEM, Greenstuf and Ferodo.

The best of them are Ferodo.

Ferodo is the most used brand in here... which one you had? What series (target, premier, racing, etc...)?

I'm using the Racing pad. I think it's good on both track and road use(5-10 trackdays\year)

Red stuff pads are OK, and wont require much warming up but I dont rate them....green stuff are useless...you may as well use chocolate bars for brake pads instead. Mintex pads are very good and pretty cheap, Porterfield pads are excellent but expensive, it all depends on what discs you are using...some pads are suited to some discs and not others, what suits one persons driving style may not suit yours. Standard toyota pads are alot better than people think and are definately worth considering.

Agreed. For road use, the Toyota pads do the job!
