Hi, I was wondering if anybody can give a honest and good opinion/recommendation of some street sport brake pads. I am looking to replace and upgrade the pads to something better then stock, and it will be great if it is low dust type. Thank you in advance.

I was reading up on EBC Greenstuff and have been told there good, but havent seen much about E60 owners with EBC Greenstuff. Thanks

Well, i used EBC pads on my sports bike and they were a big upgrade from stock. I've never heard anything bad about them, but i can't really comment about the brake dust.

Contact Stop Tech (stoptech.com) and talk to thier tech department. They can give you advice on all of the pad options to suit your driving style.

They where very helpful to me when I was looking for a low dust pad. The one thing with the high performance pads is you need to be harder on the brakes to avoid build up and potential noise. They can help you with all of that.

I heard EBC greenstuff performs great. But some recommend redstuff too. Can anyone tell us which is better between the two.
