EBC Green stuff... These are great pads for all around driving and don't create a lot of brake dust.

Green stuff is a little better then OEM. Yellow stuff is for spirited driving and stiffer brake feel. Red stuff if roe high performance driving and track use. They are very hard pads and have a tendency to eat rotors. They also have a tendency to squeal more then OEM's. Just a matter of picking your poison.
