Indeed, green stuff are shite and a waste of money.
I much preferred standard OE pads.

I've got black diamond pads on v6 calipers. can get them smoking with a car full heavy breaking but not experienced any fade yet
other than the time they smoked (but thats with the car full) which was a one off

I've already got some. Just wanted to know what ppl thought about them coz i have a sticky caliper so haven't driven it too hard to need the brakes a lot.

yeah, dont like it there tho, nearly top out so its pointless... Im going to get ferado ds2500 pads, 70 quid inc delivery, but well worth it as out braking people is as much fun as beating them in a straight line
