green stuff pads and they left deposits on their rotors. Basically it makes the car feel like the rotors are warped. Apparently (from what I have read) there is something in their compound that likes to stick to rotors.

I used them for one track event, then upraded to Boxster/A8 fronts, so I have no use for these pads anymore. I'd say they're good for atleast two, maybe three more events.

Not sure if its because my rotors are slotted, but these pads are VERY inconsistant, and noisy.

I know of at least 3 people that had EBC green stuff pads and they left deposits on their rotors. Basically it makes the car feel like the rotors are warped.
