Are the EBC 'Greenstuff' pads any good?
they are £39.99 and the redstuff ones are a tenner more.
i dont drive like a mentalist but like to cane it every now and then, which pads last the longest while giving the best braking with standard discs?
thanks,
Matt

for best braking performance go for mintex, think its the 1144s. Green stuff are good for not making any brake dust

Vauxhall pads will last the longest.
If you get EBC pads, get Greenstuff. Don't even think about getting Redstuff - these won't work properly on the Corsa unless you're taking it onto a track.

I wanted Matt to be fully aware of the pros and cons of the different pads, enabling him to make an informed decision.
You just wanted him to get Mintex so you could laugh at him cleaning his wheels. 
I have black wheels also. Brake dust makes them look brown.
