Used to use the with v6 brakes on my corsa turbo. Done the job very well on the road. Dont think there the best for track use though.

I dont rate the greenstuff or redstuff pads at all.Had greenstuff with 16v brakes and thot they were crap for fast road use.Had redstuff pads on my old pulsar with High-Spec 4pots and 300mm discs and they were crap too.Even when i had it on track they got a good hammering and still didnt bite like a track orientated pad should.
Both sets were like wood.
If its for a Vauxhall id much rather have OE pads.Heard good things about the mintex predators tho so maybe try them on the V6 set-up when i need new pads.

I sell and fit loads of greenstuff pads, very low dust levels and good braking. Never had a set back and they are well priced.
they are an ideal replacement pad but look at redstuff for harder use/more powerfull cars.
