Hi I'm looking at replacing the brake pads on my ERA turbo.

Is it worth looking at RedStuff/Greenstuff or just replace with standard Metro pads?

Cheers

Greenstuff are terrible so steer clear, not sure it's there is an available mintex m1144 pad for those brakes but they would 100% what I would fit.

Choice of pad really depends how you intend to drive and use the car.

If normal use with no real hard braking, standard would be quite fine.

speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

I'd use the carbon metallic pads from minispares. They are awesome, and in my opinion the best you can get for std 4 pot callipers. It's what a lot of the front running miglias use.
