ebc greens at the track - great pad
ran at BIR with the greens wednesday and it was awsome...
I'm on stock rotors/calipers and these darn pads bite like a motha!!!
ran all day with out issues, pedal started to get a bit squishy on the last laps of the day, but thats probably my fluid needing to be bleed.
still lots of pad left and the dust was not bad at all, rims were pretty clean, they do dust when tracked but it seems like 'nicer' dust, it just comes off instead of caking on.
they are great on teh street, no noise and bite cold, im very impressed with them after coming off of a set of hps (destroyed them.. ordered a set of stock pads and destroyed them in one track event)
I recommend them.

I don't like them at all. They chewed up my Z-Speed slotted/cross drilled and angled veined rotors on my Honda-CRX. The don't dust much but I had to keep turning the rotors at least three times before replacing them with OEM's (and they had at least 1/2 life left). Maybe they work on stock rotors but I will never buy them again nor any other that has ceramic/metalic. I'm going to try the carbon pads I found on summitracing for my next set.

i liked them on regular rotors but not on slotted....audi a4 quattro.
they ate my a4's brembo slotted rotors and made a lot of noise...but lasted a long time and did a great job with unslotted stock rotors. I spoke to the company that sold them to me about this and they said that many people had complained about slotted rotor wear and noise but had no info as to reason. pretty odd....... I plan to put them on my 7 with standard rotors as soon as the stock pads wear.

interesting to hear from someone with something nice to say about EBC. I have heard from so many (trusted) track friends that say that the EBC pads are just marketing hype.
I think I will stick with Performance Friction 90 and 93 compound, but I may give EBC another look now.

I've been running them for a couple years now. I think they're a great street pad, but was told by someone on the other forum that they don't last long on the track.

just finished another entire track day and was very hard on the brakes again.... pads still have a lot on them (plety to last another event and rest of the year on the street)
they are scoring my rotors I noticed, but still sto pthe car hard when i get on em....even late in the day
pedal got squishy again, have to bleed the lines again, but bit still stays...
