Cheapest I found is £55 for a complete (4 pads) front set of greenstuff pads.

Anyone know where I can get them cheaper?

Don't bother, they're sh!te. Get some mintex 1144's or if you can't afford them standard OE pads.

Really? Your old rado stops pretty dam well even on 256s.

What are the price of the mintex pads?

where do I get mintex pads and how much for? cps so far I've found them at about £66. Anywhere for about 40?

Got to agree...no brake dust with GSs but not as good as Mintex M1144/M1155s or Ferodo DS2500s.

Also, I've only run GS twice - once in my Mk3 16v and once in my S3 (both on 312s) and both sets managed to de-laminate the pad material from the backing plate.
To be fair to EBC, they replaced both with Red Stuff stating that Green Stuff shouldn't be used on cars with 200ish BHP or more!

And Red Stuff were so bad, I removed them and binned them! 

I run either M1144s or M1155s (can't remember which) now on my GTI and they are superb. They just work, and work well. Not *too* messy either.
