what is a good aggresive replacement pad? I heard ebc green stuff kills rotors. I'm looking for a street/autox/track pad that does not dust like crazy.

DS2500 works pretty good, a little more noise than stock but the dust is MUCH less and the performance is MUCH better.

I had Green Stuff on my old car. Killing rotors? What BS. EBC are some of the best pads out there. I wish they made Red Stuff for the Evo.

Even Z owners hate EBC. Have you ever tried anything else?

Yes, I just bought the Project Mu's from Lancershop.com because everyone was out of the EBC. And I desperately need to change all four of mine.

Have you tried the Project Mu's out yet?
Please report on them when you get a chance, I'm considering them as well.

Thanks

I bought the front and the rears and they will be going onto the car on Monday, same time as I am doing my clutch install do. Bought a ACT 2900. Will be doing that as well as an oil change too. Just hit 15K miles.

I got some DS2500 pads for my '03 EVo (from vividracing.com). The dust is much more than stock, but they work a ton better. I did a canyon run a few nights ago and beat the hell out of them; they were smoking a bit at the bottom of the canyon, but I never experienced any fade on the way down or right after.
