Greenstuff have a very good name in the industry amongst experienced track users and enthusiasts and from memory are reasonably priced too. They're definitely first on my list if I'm ever getting serious about track days, the factory pads are understandably too soft for repeated track use but otherwise pretty standard euro fare - brake dust heaven.

i am using greenstuff and they are great. fantastic stopping, very very low dust but there is some. you can get true dust free pads but they are horrible.

I put a set of EBC Grooved roters with std EBC pads (one under the greenstuff)at 40000 km on my focus 03.
Thay produce little dust but much less then the std ford units. I do autokhanas with them and there is no problem at all. Thay pull up very nice. IMO I think Greenstuff pads is a bit of overkill with std roters. Green stuff pads are good track pads but for city driving you will never get them upto temp for them to work at there best. In winter I had to dab the brakes a few times just to get some heat in them so the work prop. Thay cost me about $ 150 and about $320 for the roters. The roters are $50 cheaper then std ford units. Plus thay look very cool. Nick
