x2 on these. I used em on a Grand Am GT I owned, and loved the hell out of em. Only problem I had was with the break in period, it seemed a bit longer than most other pads.

That said, the EBC greenstuff are good pads as well. If you decide to go with EBC pads OP, I suggest the greenstuff pads. The redstuff ones are too hard of a compound for street use IMHO, and for them to work properly they need to warm up. The problem I have found is that in normal DD street driving they take too long to warm up, and your braking actually gets worse. Greenstuff pads are a softer compound and heat up quicker than the Redstuff. They also have the Yellowstuff pads, but I am unfamiliar with them.

Another option would be to look at Hawk pads. They are on par (if not slightly better) than the EBC's, for about the same price last I looked.
