"These pads are great. They look good, feel good, and save my life every time I step on the brake pedal. Within the first week I had them (I dont recommend racing while still in the bed in period) I was racing a new corvette and was pulling on him pretty hard from behind at about 120 and I was getting mighty close to his rear bumper because there were too many people in the lane next to us and we were cruisin. The next thing I know someone cuts him, well both of us, off and he and I both slammed on our brakes. Now this is a corvette with corvette i wanna say 6-piston calipers (could be 8), and Im in a 90 talon with dual piston calipers w/baer xd/slotted rotors and I stayed right with him...by staying right with him I mean that I did not plow the rear end of his daddy's midlife-crisis-mobile. If my 90 talon can stay with a vette acc/decellerating and still have a blast in the winter for under $5000, Im happy. Oh yeah, get these pads and you too will outstop a corvette...well maybe anyway, but prob not."

EBC Green Stuff pads - 1 -vs- Hawk LTS pads - 0

"I previously had Hawk LTS SUV pads on my 2001 KB Supercharged Ford Escape and only after 5-10K miles I noticed a very annoying grinding and squealing sound during usage. Although I had approximately 1/2 pad left I decided to switch to a different brake pad. After doing some research, I decided on EBC Green Stuff pads and I'm already very impressed with them compared to the Hawk pads that I purchased through Tire Rack. Initial bite is excellent and modulation is exceptional for a pad that costs $15.00 less than the Hawk pads. I received my new EBC pads free of shipping costs from AutoAnything on top of that. I only have approx 100 miles on the EBC pads, but I can already tell that they will provide me with years of excellent service. I will never purchase Hawk pads again. I drive in a very dusty environment, so I'm still waiting to see if the EBC pads create any more brake dust than previous pads. But since I clean my custom 18" Sport Edition F10 wheels daily, the point is irrelevant."

"Couldn't believe the improvement in stopping right out of the box. Never felt quite sure about the brakes from when the truck was new, but now I am sure that when I hit the pedal, the truck is going to stop where I want it to - smoothy and, so far, quietly. If they are this good freshly installed (by dealer), can't imagine what they will be like once they are seated in good. Will have to wait and see how much brake dust they generate."

"Excellent product, much lower dusting levels than OEM, braking is as good as or better than OEM, they lasted just as long as OEM, I got ~40K miles or better before I put my second set of EBC pads on. I run slotted/drilled rotors so that seemed to have no effect on pad wear. the rotors were not overly worn and will run for at least another set of pads if not a third (ie the pads do not seem to eat up the rotors any faster than OEM)."

"I had heard about these brake pads from a few auto forums and decided to give them a try. My '02 Toyota Solara never seemed to have good brakes, which concerned me for such a heavy car. Installing the green stuff pads was a bit of a pain, requiring a bit of filing since they fit my caliper clips a little too tight right out of the box. The pads come with a nice adhesive shim pad that eliminates any noise or squeals. The pads also have a "break in" coating that facilitates the surface mating between the rotors and pads, and it takes a week or so of city driving to scrub that off - during that time the braking effect is only slightly diminished. The pads have added modulation that I didn't have before, a slight touch brings them on and they feel progressive right to the point of wheel lock. I now feel that my car will safely respond when I need it to stop instead of the vague feel I used to get. Now I just need to get a set for my wife's car too !! These pads are all I will use going forward...."

"Put these on my 05' Sequoia and was very pleased. They put a suface coating on the pads to clean up the rotors and I thought it did a great job. Breaking has been greatly improved my wife has noticed greater stopping power and better initial grip. I thought the color would stand out but its pretty hidden behind the calipers. I also liked the anti-noise shims they provide, the actually stick on so its quick and easy installation. So far I have 300 miles on them and as for right now I will definitely by these in the future."

"I've always heard good things about EBC Green Stuff brake pads. Always seen them advertised on TV and recommended on PowerBlock TV. Now that I've tried them, their going on all my trucks. I put them on my 2005 Trailblazer, the absolute easiest brake install I've ever done and I do alot! The anti-vibration adhesive mat they include is impressive. Much cleaner than the anti-vibration gel I normally use. The brake dust is minimal and the braking power is awesome. You can really feel a difference. I would highly recommend them to anyone, their worth the money. And, you won't be disappointed!"

"I was very impressed with the quality of these pads. Exact fit. When properly installed,as they were, these brake pads are very good. I installed them on my 3/4 ton pick-up. I did all four wheels. I noticed instant results. Very good stopping power even on a very heavy vehicle. It's been about 3 to 4 hundred miles now. They are seated and broken in now and have great stopping power. I am very pleased and will definately purchase these pads again. Thanks to "Auto Anything" I found another great product."
