Default EBC Green brake pads

Anyone ever try EBC Green brake pads? I'm thinking about getting a set and wonder how good they work and how much they wear out the rotors.

I've been using them for about 6months now. No complaints here. Good increase in stopping power and I haven't managed to overheat them regardless of how hard I've been stopping on them. Important to skim rotors and grind discs, and I've found that after time they lose their balancing a little bit. Supposedly dust-free, but they do create a noticable amount of brake dust, however because it is mainly kevlar particles, the dust wipes off very easily. Good product.

Where did you buy your EBCs from and how much? I've been trying to find a place online.

I got my pads from my local supplier in New Zealand, (Pioneer Parts), and they cost me around $85US. They are all good, and so far I've found them better than japanese aftermarket pads, as they are more of a specialty product.

I don't recommend them if you are going to compete with them. They glaze over so bad that when I took them off they looked like glass. I put on 10K miles on them and 10 autocrosses. I'm using AEM pads right now and they are working great.
