Question EBC Brake pads

G'Day. Anyone tried out a set of EBC brake pads as advertised in the latest Moss Motors catalog? EBC carry a line of pads, but Moss are pushing the "Greenstuff" variants. They sure are pricy when compared to regular OEM pads. Works out to $400 CAN ($290 US) free shipping, for all 4 wheels.

Yes, I have them on many cars including my Jag.

I just did a track day with the Blue Stuff on my Porsche today. They were flawless hot or cold. Very Very consistient. Worth every penny.

I run yellow stuff on my Jag Track car. They need to heat up but work fine. I will certainly switch to blues when they are done but no reason to change them any sooner.

I run red and green stuff on my daily drivers but I did run the Reds on the track when I first started. Reds are a good choice for beginners and if your daily is also a track car.

The Red Green and Yellows wear fast, the Reds...very fast but they leave the rotors undamaged. This is a HUGE benefit for me as I usually run expensive multi piece rotors.

I have one vehicle that EBC doesnt make pads for so I use Hawk HPS. They are good but dont WOW me like the EBC.

use the green stuff on various cars. Aside of quite good quality they as well tend to reduce brake dust stains on the wheel rims.

Yellow and red stuff is more ideal for racing application but green stuff work fine

Are the Blue pads OK for road work, or are they too hard? I find my Red Stuff pads fade quite quickly on downhill slalome type roads.
