I have not used EBC stuff personally, but I know several who have. No big complaints with them. If the purpose is to reduce brake dust, then they are Ok, but if you are looking for track duty, then I would suggest Hawks or Ferodos. Both of them also reduce brake dust, especially Hawk HPS.

Hi,
I have installed the EBC greenstuff pads on my car. I would say I am pretty satisfied with them. No more dirty rims everyday. They dust only very slightly more than the rear brakes and I can sense an improvement in braking feel too. No squealing or anysort of extra noise experienced.
However, the temperature range is only up to 550 degrees C, more for streetuse and Im sure it can't take any track bashing. (EBC's manual do not recommend their greenstuff pads to be used for track too). In the first place, I wouldn't even consider using my original single piston brakes at the track but this will just help me enjoy a dustless ride before I upgrade the brakes.

....for your health
Green Stuff are the street pads- Red Stuff are the track pads- Yellow Stuff are full racing compound:

actually, he's got 2 screen names, but I digress.
After 300+ miles on my Hawk HPS pads, I washed the car.
1st note, I have them on all 4 corners, and they fronts looked the same as the rear.
2nd, that being said, neither set looked anywhere near as dirty as even the stock rear pads after 1 day of driving.
3rd, when I hosed them off, there was very little dust that washed away.
All in all, I really like the HPS, and for me at least, they are very low dust compared to stock.

i think the EBC Redstuff is more suited for the 350Z since it is a heavier car and they're made for that plus they can take a beating (supposidly). they're 100 an axle.
i might go for those instead of the greenstuff. ne one has ne opinions on the Redstuff pads?
