"Green Stuff" pads are supposed to be very good with much less dust.

Because I was holding off while I thought about upgrading the brakes I just fitted standard pads last time. They seem to be even "dustier" than the original ones that were fitted so I am looking at alternatives.

RedPoint has Greenstuff pads and discs and swears by them, so that is probably the way I will go.

Just realised the ebay seller is Graham Goode Racing, I was going to recommend them as a good priced website anyway - but I think the ebay prices are even cheaper, especially if they will combine postage.

Craig if you speak to Kinghorn you might be able to get 2 sets delivered for one lot of postage ;)
