Of all the pads used out there, which ones give the best bite for the buck? EBC? Mintex? OEM? J.C. Whitney's?
I've used KVRs and didn't like them, especially when wet. Anyone besides Tirerack, A-1 Brakes, & Brake Warehouse selling the Greenstuff? As for Mintex, looks like BAT is the only one on the U.S. side of the pond. Is Bendix selling the same compounds? They (Allied Signal) are now Honeywell; maybe this will improve the oil filters.... :p

I hear ya on the KVR's -- I ditched mine for the same reason.

I've heard the best things about the EBC Greenstuff and the Mintex 1144's.

Don- I use PBR/Repco MetalMax on the front and PBR/Repco Deluxe on the rear. Very little dust and great pedal feel.

I liked the OEM pads when they are cold, but when you get on them too long, it's game over. Thanks for the info. I got tired of installing different brands and finding out most of them suck.
