After five or so years I am sticking with my Bendix Metal King Plus pads
that take me from road to track. Extremely hard wearing (high metal
content) pads that will go all day at the track and confortably take me
home at the end of the day. The only drawback - and there are
compromises at each end of the scale - is that they work best once
"warm" so you notice a alck (not dramatic) of braking power when you
first take off in the morning. Once you are aware of it, it soon
becomes "normal" to you.
I have been tempted to try the Greenstuff pads but while I am happy with
my Metal Kings I can't see the need to change just now.
Maybe because they are a little "tougher" they seem to survive my
"cheesegrater" cross-drilled/grooved disc rotors quite well.
