Long story short, I got into it with a prelude, going about 120 we come up to a sharp down hill left turn so I get into the brakes for the turn and I get almost nothing. The brakes felt like they where grinding, didn't feel like the they where grabbing much at all. They got me down to 80 but it was very loose and sloppy, scared the shit out of me. Also generally speaking I get a ton of brake dust from these pads (should not do that) and squeaking from time to time.
I don't know if the "race" was to much for Green Stuff pads or what. I may need Red Stuff pads but they don't sound good for daily driving. Or I may just go back to OEM pads. Green Stuff brake great at normal speeds but above 100 they suck. Any thoughts?
Oh, and I know that "race" was stupid and I got very lucky (didn't me or the car hurt)!
sheesh, sometimes this place gets under my skin. If I post a pic of what rims I might get I would get 25 replies. Post a real question about a real performance part and you get two replies (not a dig on them), really sad.
TRD brake pads are what I have and they work very well. You should try them if you haven't already, although I've heard only good things about the EBC green stuff...
From what I understand, the green stuff brake pads DO put off a lot of dust - that's normal. As for them not working so well.. how long have you had them? They also tend to wear out quicker than stock pads. Maybe you should get a big brake kit if you plan on stomping the brakes at such high speeds. I doubt the stock brakes would've done any better going that fast..
The EBCs are around 3 weeks old, so they should be broken in. I've been checking reviews on other sites and the response seems mixed, some hate them, others have no problems.
I may go back to OEM or TRD. Not sure about TRD, I've heard there not much better than stock.

Yeah, this is disappointing, because I was going to get some green stuff pads soon. Now, I'm thinking TRD, but like you said, some people say they're hardly better than stock, so I dunno

Don't get the EBCs, I'm going to give them some more time but I think I'm going to try and get my money back. I think stock pads on Power slot or Brembo rotors may be the way to go.

well from what i've heard EBC, and axxis pads are really good. But hardcore autoxers like Hawk or porterfield pads. Don't really know which is better but i just hope this helps. I have some zeal pads but i havent' installed them yet. i'll post a review when i do though
I think I will give them some more time to be sure there good and broke in (that was the first hi speed stop for them), I am going to talk to EBC about getting my money back, if I don't get my money back I will use these until its time to change and then go with Axxis.
