Carlo,,,,we have changed front Discs to DBA drilled and slotted (this car will never see a racetrack) and Greens. Couldn't be happier bud,,,car stops at least 10-15% better. Mind you the brakes were excellent to start with,,,,blue backed some brand pad. Bendix pads are not really great for our cars. Checking the thickness of your Discs would be a much better start,,,,most of these imports are still using original Discs which by now have got to be getting thin. Ever wondered how many sets of pads have been in there??. Check DBA's site for tolerences.

I bought some endless pads for the front of mine. These were a light blue, if that is the pads you are looking for. Not sure what ones they actuallty are though. The box didn't say (yes i looked properly). Was just told that they are fine for street use. The only thing it had on it was "NA". These seem to be much better than my previous brakes of unknown origin. Both stopping and dust are better.

I've almost gone through a set of Ultimates up front and yes they make a heap of brake dust.

Even with normal braking the front wheels in 1 week time are black.

They don't squeel the slightest. If they do it means you have forgoten to rip the old Shims off the old pads before u slapped the new ones in.

I'm after a pad that lasts a little longer. These have lasted around 20k.

I got a set of pad from Race Brakes, they are a bit cheaper than greenstuff and were a imporvement on ulitmates for not much extra cost. The best bit is they dont make any brake dust, with the ulitmates in a week the wheels would be black, i havent cleaned my wheels for a couple of months(i know im slack) and they are still shiny, they do squell a little at times.
