I have to agree with sumpnut here. I have had pads that seemed ok, but the first time they were asked a bit more they faded badly. After the big fade they never faded to that level again and were excelent. http://www.twin-turbo.co.uk

I ran green stuff on my Clio Williams and could get niether a good pedal or more importantly the car to stop, i stuck with them thinking they would bed in, but they never did, swapped them for black stuff, which i have to say where amazing, no fade at all, the only problem is i had to change the discs every 3000miles, maybe says more about my driving than anything else |

I've tried two cars with carbon metallic pads as well. They're great. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

The carbon metalics are really unbeatable I have found too, they make the rims pretty dirty though.... |

I have 7,5" discs and 7,5" alu 4 pot calipers from minipares. I dont know if I would use them on a road car though, as they make loads of dust! |

i had green stuff pads on my 998 with minispares 7.5" alloy calipers for a while and the only time i got them working propoly was at donnington trackday were they were good but the pedal still felt rubish and i felt the need to pump them a bit (no air in brakes at all).
