What in your humble opinion are some of the best brake pads, aside from the normal EBC green stuff...

GreenStuff are absolute pants. There uis a serious issue with the pad compound and material that seems to shaft brake discs.

Mintex 1144 (or 55 depending on use) or Ferrodo DS2000's would be my choice

1166's on a road car, now that could be intresting. They would be to stopping what coarse sand is to vaginal lubrication

as said with the green stuff, within 1000 miles they warped my new discs, because of the compound they bite fairly well but cause hotspots leading to warping.
