Cant help you with the EBC stuff but the A1RM pads that GSL Rallysport are selling seem to get great reviews.

I run Ferodo DS2500 fronts as good as they are, its dusty as hell but do but do stop you car quiet good - just needs a bit of warmth in them

Greens = Dusty as all hell, Got rid of mine, back onto the genuine stuff. Plus I get the genuine for Cost Price. Cant complain.

Reds, from what i have been told are the same story.

I used to run reds when I had 4 pots. I actually quite liked them.
I've heard bad things about the greens though.

Was looking at the same a while back, went with Elig 2021 instead. Great for the street with minimal dust.

Good pad, bit dusty (but arent they all). Just dont use then with RDA, they will chew the shit out of them.

Running EBC green at the moment which havent gathered too much dust in comparison. Stopping power seems same same. i dont get them hot enough to compare brake fade.

Love the sound of the Protex Red Hats (cheers Rossco )
