Ok, I think I got myself set on EBC brake pads for my stock brakes on my 2010 xb.

I just don't know which one to get, the green stuff or red stuff? I suppose the red stuff might be better? What is the difference between the two?

I do everyday driving and I just want pads that will last perform better than my stocks. Also, if it last long it would be a plus. Thanks

Ive got the reds on my tc....they work well, but are dusty as all can be.

So I suppose that the green will be less dusty?

Hawk ceramics.

Should I get the HPS (in blue box)? It seems like a better performing pads than the Ceramic pads that come in a yellow box and plus Amazon is selling the HPS for a little cheaper than the ceramics (yellow box.)

I had the hps on my old z3, along with cryo slotted rotors, and it was a great setup. The ceramics seem to dust less, but if you're going for max stopping power, the hps will work better for you.

Greens will be fine for your car and for street use.

Cool, I think I'm leaning more towards the EBC green pads than Hawks. I just want something that will preform a little better than stock without a lot of brake dust.
