For my 5 cents worth I've got premiums and have changed to Bendix Ultimates which are a great improvement over the originals with good initial bite  and far less dust!

My mechanic said the same just the other day when I asked about a good pad for the DBA 4000 rotors

Regarding Brake pads, I've been often told that EBC 'GREEN STUFF' is a great product, especially when matched with the DBA Rotors. See Below.

EBC V4 'Green Stuff'

I've been told the complete opposite and DBA themselves said Greenstuff f@$k the rotors and wouldn't warrant them.

Ferodo DS 2000 are the way to go for a great street pad.

I run these with the 4000's and if you like dust use these. They were great at the track even when I caught them on fire. Ive still got them on now. They've seen 10000 and two track days.

My next pair will be Bendix Ultimates. Im sick of cleaning the dust when my car is still clean but my rims are black.

Guys, I'm getting confused now

Which pads are best, I like the sound of better initial bite and less dust though

Need more responses here.......

I'm no brake expert but that is a very subjective question that depends a lot on your driving style and to an extent what discs (slotted or std) you are using.

I have a set of grooved RDA 4000 rotors and use ebc red stuff pads. seem to work ok but make a lot of dust. the pads are ceramic

I dont seem to feel any real problem when using them. Stops cold ok, stops hot ok, just at intermediate temps you have to be a little careful, some times they feel like they dont bite and you have to stand on them.
