I've been using EBC Green Stuff 7000 4x4/SUV Supreme pads for a few years, I'm now on my second set.
I've had no problems with them at all and they are very low dust.

I used a set of the Red Stuff and so far in my 200,000 miles of driving the X, they have been the best preforming. I used them with Brembo rotors. And I will be buying a new set shortly along with EBC's drilled and slotted rotors.

Brembo's and EBC Red stuff here. 24k on them, couldn't be happier. About 50% worn through now...

Highly recommended.

Oh, and looking at that above "melted" pic, I'd like to see the face of the pad. Looks to me like the paint on the pad material has bubbled/oxidized, but the pad faces look to be straight lines. I'm almost 100% sure those still stopped great. I don't care about the appearance of a used pad. I do care about performance, and EBC has never let me down - on any of my cars.

Face of pad + versus oem pad
You still reckon its only a paint bubble issue and still stopped great even after the material fell apart!
I wish the member here that initially posted these pics would provide some input and feedback.

Now that I've seen the melted pads I'm a little worried but everyone on here says EBC pads are great and have had no problems.
Dose anyone know where to get the green stuff pads online for a good deal?
