Which Brake pads? - The age old question

[markprz86]

Hi all,

I'm looking to get a new set of brake pads & discs for my 3.0si Coupe. Would be good to get some opinions from those who have tried the brakes I'm looking at.

I drive mainly fast road weekend driving, always threaten to go on track but never happens!

Pads:
Stoptech street pads
EBC Red Stuff
EBC Green Stuff
Textar E pads

Pairing with Brembo coated discs (not drilled or grooved as don't want the extra noise).

Looking for low dust and also good braking performance, best of both worlds if anything is suitable.

Any experience on the above would be great.
Cheers

Textar e , got them on mine on the front. They get my vote.

Ebc. Green for me.

EBC greens are great.
Reds are awful on the road! They are just not designed for regular driving.

Textar e everytime.
Low dust. Good longevity. Good stopping power. Good price.

Textar epad gets my vote too. More than enough friction to reach the limit of the tyres, but low dust and a surprisingly solid pedal feel (the two things must be related, I reckon).

Another vote for EBC greens. I've used them for years. They need a few strong stops to bed in but are spot on after that. I have no experience of the others so can't comment on them.
