    I have green stuff pads on mine. They aren't that good from cold, like the first few mins of driving in the morning, but when you go for a spirited drive they are good once hot. If you can take it easy whilst they are cold then, from my experiences, they are an okay pad.

    My calipers came with them, but for the cost of them I'm pretty sure you can get sum Mintex pads instead which are ment ot be really good, from cold and when hot.

    Green stuff pads overheat more than standard and are affected by fade more so after a "spirited" drive. I wouldn't bother personally. Standard pads are better for everyday/fast road driving

    You'd be better sticking your arm out of the window to slow down

    I think they'd wear all pads quicker that normal. Go for some 1144's, MotorSportWorld, 50 odd quid.

    For a fast road car have a look atFerodo as well for a good price pad with a lot of bite.

    Mintex Xtreme's are decent but a step below the 1144's

    Any yes, you'll more than likely have ATE callipers but it's best to check first.
