Strange I just arrived to talk about brake pads. I am looking at either EBC Greenstuff or RB74's from racebrakes. Both can be had for under 160 bucks.
Just wondering has anyone used both? Seeking opinions.

I had Endless & now RB74, i've got to say the Endless stop better then RB74, & produce less brake dust. But the Endless are harder to get & cost around $90-$100 more per pad, depends where you get them.

Depends on what you are going to do with them really. Racebrakes RB74 pads are pretty good, and the guys in the UK all love Greenstuff. Either of them, for the price, are pretty good.
Team them up with some slotted rotors, and it makes the world of difference!

I would recommend Hawk HPS brake pads. I understand that most people would not heard of the brand, but do a search in google and you will find that this is one of the best street pads available. Very good compound, low dust. The part number is HB214F.618 and if you are in Sydney, you can contact Terry Conroy of Huntsman Motorsport at 0423 734 532. Very nice bloke too.
