Any advice on front pads?

I don't need "high performance" stuff, just low dust & a good initial bite.

I've heard Green Stuff are ok.

I recall Horsetan was looking for some low dust jobs too. Any luck?

Also may need discs too.

EBC green stuff are pretty hard on discs.. and need quite abit more heat before they really bite, so keep yer distance around town.. ask me how i know this

any pad with kevlar in it will be hard on disc and green stuff is far from dust free

we have switched to Ferodo DS2500 in our M6 and it's a very good best of both worlds compromise

DS2000 probably too soft for a heavy car like the 6, DS3000 p'haps a bit too stoppy although I believe it was develped for big Fords which are probably the same(ish) weight.
