I'm on my second set of EBC "black" pads and very happy with their performance and life. However I certainly hope that they bring out the "clean" dust free "Green" pads for the GTS. Cleaning up black soot brake pad dust on my wheels after everyride is not my idea of fun. Can anyone shed any light on the EBC"Green" pads for the GTS? -Pete -- Derek Baylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I use EBC pads, the 'black' (regular street > compound, I think), and I'm > pretty pleased with them.
