I currently have the standard Corsa C 1.2 SXi brake pads on my car and was thinking of upgrading them to somthing like Green Stuff, as they just dont stop me as quick as I want, and they give off loads of dusk.

Are the grean stuff ones any good?? Value for money??
What other ones could I get??

no, stay away from green stuff, they only eat brake disc's

get either Mintex 1144's, Pagid Fast Road Pads or Ferodo DS

all are very good
