Ill never use EBC greenstuff pads ever again. I think they are crap, didnt perform well and lasted for ****. I have some metalmaster pads on now that are ok. I wish I would have just gone and got the Hawk pads.

I have Hawk HPS in the rear of my car, and I really like em. They dust a shitload though, the only downside.

i've heard nothing but bad things about EBC brakes from people who actually need upgraded brakes.

i've used Hawk HPS, and found them a great compromise between street and track pad.

I have the EBC Green Stuff on my civic, although I have Baer calipers on the car. They are the same as chevy corvette and ford cobra calipers.

The brake kit came with SBSS pads, and the green stuff is much better! And the less dust is excellent as well.

i have ebc green stuff on my gs-r right now...i've had them for almost a year now, and all I can say is that these pads kick ***......they grip like all hell, and the best part is; now you can get them at your local pepboys/autozone ! (~65$ for two pads)

Are the greenstuff or Hawk pads ceramic? If not, ceramic pads would be my recommendation. Ceramic pads dust very, very little and will out-last just about any other pad out there.

i got the hawk HPS, they do dust quite a bit, they do bite pretty good, but i have nothing but oem to compare with, can't really say they perform drastically better, i think if the pads aren't bedded correctly, that's when they wear out fast or become less effective,
