Depends on if you take your car to the track or not. If road use only, I heard ECB Green Stuff is good enough.

Greenstuff are good pads, I've heard that 'Racebrakes' RB74's are good too

I had good experience with Endless on a FTO. RDA are very average, i would avoid them.

Man i just use Bendix at the moment about $50 (trade) i think they r about $70 retail and they are excellent i thrash the sh*t out of mine even round hills and have never had any brake fade before (but i havnt done any mods to my car yet). any more expensive that then you might as well pay the $300 and full upgrade to the UAS ones

I use Race Brake's RB74 pads on the front.

Dusty, but they stop good.

I hope you don't mean the brake upgrade kits, its no where near $300, well maybe just the labor cost.

Whats the go with the rears? Same sort of thing ie. racebrakes or ebc's good? Mine still need doing, yet to get around to it but

from what i can tell so far lots of people who've tried EBC's prefer Racebrake's RB74's on front and Comp2 on rear. so far i've been able to source them at $160/set.

i have a question though, how hard will these harder compound pads be on my standard rotors? will mostly be for street, but would like the option of doing a few trackdays...
