    Not tried Green stuff ones myself but Anyting that saves wheel blackening is good in my books. Why do they not come standard with them I'll never know......

    i would adivse against green stuff on standard discs as have runs this it wasnt unitl i switched to ecb drilled discs they worked proplerly better than stock pads but need to warm up so be careful when you set off imo might be better going with minitex m1144 form lohen

    or better yet get the ecb discs my car stops on a dime with them and green stuff pads
