As above, I found the EBC Greenstuff pads no better than the standard ones.

Ebc can take a lot of punishment but tend to wear out quite fast.

I've used EBC red stuff in the past, no problems but everything I hear is that EBC are cr*p without much reason.  I would say Mintex or Ferrodeos are a better quality product.

Mintex for me never liked ebc, they just contain food colouring and they never felt like an improvement... but they where good at making sparks.
