   green stuff imo are shite. i had then with my standard disc's and they were abit pants. however, landy has them on his setup and he thinks they are mint but thats just for normal driving not for track use.

   the pads are hard as feck and only work when properly heated up.. i.e when there being used on a track.. even then they have a very narrow operating temp where they actually work well and there prone to cooking themselves.
