EBC green stuff brake pads.... worth the money??

My 4.6 classic is due new pads and i don't know whether to put standard ones back on (i think theyve lasted about 12 months / 15k) or to put green stuff ones on. Obviously there is a significant price difference and wondered if anyone has tried them and can offer an opinion?

Thanks

James

Ill be quite onest Ive tried them but dont think it makes a lot of difference just makes you more consious how you break so weahter this also has a effect who no;s but the price difference I dont think is warnted

i would stick with standards. had uprated ones on my old v8 rangie. didnt make much of a difference for the price as stated above.

unless you go all out with performance discs etc, i dont think it would be worth it.

How much difference? Halfrauds sell Disco pads for the same price as Paddocks sell Grenstuff pads, £26 for the front lest time I checked.

They aren't noticeably better than a good standard pad though, unless you cane them and get them hot.  I put greenstuff disks and pads in thge back of the LSE and it made a noticeable diffenrece for the better, still got the front to do though,

Greenstuff disks also corrode if you don't use them.

I nearly bought pads in halfords then walked away when i saw the price. Standard ones are about £12 ish from memory from paddocks etc.

I do tend to drive it quite hard and get the brakes warm if i'm driving a road with a lot of roundabouts (A5 tamworth to cannock for example) but haven't really had any problems with the standard ones other than they start to squeak a bit when they're warm as you pull up to stop.

From what everyone has said so far I might stick with standard ones for the moment as the discs don't need changing yet. Might upgrade the whole lot once the discs need doing.
