Has anyone tried green stuff pads? Of so what's your opinion on them?

 

[zirconmr2]

terrible, they cracked and dropped to bits, yellow are a bit better, much better options out there than green stuff including stock.

They're really that bad? And will yellow stuff do the same? What would you recommend for a decent price? Don't want to pay too much

Regardless of cracking they are just *****.

Red or yellow are good, I'm liking the stoptechs at the moment.

How much are stoptechs is it worth paying the extra for yellow or red

when i replace mine i will go mintex m1144, (if available for the fn2) or ferodo ds2500, quite pricey compared to some. basic mintex might be fine but really it depends on your driving habits.

im sure others will have different preferences and will chime in soon

ive driven a car with yellow and when cold the squealed like a pig, red ive heard are better for street use. but i wouldnt have them after the green, just lost faith in the brand

I think I have basic mintex pads on now if I remember right. I have the 2.2 diesel

 

[zirconmr2]

we have mintex on our 2.2 accord tourer, it doesnt get ragged about and they are fine. my R gets punished a bit more and cheaper pads suffer fade when hot so thats why i go for the m1144

 

[tompringle]

cheapest I found on ebay for m1144's was £75 from funky power. s2000/civic ep3/fn2 all use the same front pads

The mintex on my 2.2 civic fade far too much, too quickly, what's decent for breaking force and better with heat, at a low budget

good price really, they are over a ton for the r53 mini. i would happily pay that for pads, skimping on brakes is never a good thing

They won't go on the 2.2 without a type r calliper conversion which I'm not doing YET, any ideas for the 2.2?

have a look on some of the tuner sites, may i suggest forum sponsors first. the likes of tegiwa, cpl etc.

Didn't know tegiwa done brake pads if I'm honest

Greens should be renamed "Cabbagestuff". Absolute pants.

Reds are a little better, minimal dust, but Yellows are spot on. Excellent cold bite and get better the hotter they get. Loads of forum members use them. Mine never squealed, and I did several track days with them.

DS2500s are overpriced and have very poor cold bite, imo.

So yellow stuff is the best?

 

[Big_Rich]

As said Ferodo's are expensive and personally I didn't rate them, I think I paid £40 ish for the stoptechs from ABP, although they may have been on offer.

Drop them a message.

For road use, yes. They do orange and blue, but they're track pads and not R90 tested.
