Hi Guys,
I don't think this was discussed before, as I couldn't find it and if it in the "monster thread" then sorry, I didn't have a full free day to look there LOL
Anyway, I know that not many of you (in Canada at least) are up for front brake pads replacement, as your exy's are still low on Km's, but I had to change mine close to 40,000Km's.
I decided to go with
EBC GreenStuff 6000 Series brakes, as they produce much less brake dust and are heavy-duty brakes.
The amount of brake dust I used to get with the OEM pads was driving me nuts and the front alloys where always black and covered in that dust and looked ugly.
Well, it's been a week since I changed my front brake pads to the EBC GreenStuff and I'm very happy with them. The dust they have generated in this past week is barely noticeable and the front wheels are still clean, there is no squeaking sounds coming when braking (no matter how hard) and they seem to respond perfectly.
For those interested in a DIY brake replacement, I have created a guide, which you can easily follow to replace your front brake pads and save yourself a bit of money [

P.S. When I removed the old pads, I had about 3mm left on them, but they use to give me that loud griding noise (similar to metal sliding on metal) and no squeaking or anything like that to warn me that the pads are up for replacement, so you may want to keep this indication/signal in mind if and when you get it
