ive hered green stuffs have a high metal content and can really wear diks quickly im sure pagid would do them but probably under vw list. you would just need to find out which dubs share your brakes.

The new V4 formula is a bit more disc friendly.

Well i've got my GreenStuff Pads but...........


The dealer is a lying b4stard... At 30K service said 'you'll need new front pads in 5K, want us to change them now. Good job I said no 'cos 10k later there's still about 15K left on the current pads


Me thinks they would have charged me for the pads and done nowt


SERE Motors - Boucher Road , Belfast


Anyway i'll pu the pads away for a while now - Also, no wear indicators on my car

Greenstuff V4 is not bad. On balance I think I prefer the Pagid FRs though. V4 bites better when colder - just - and the initial bite is slightly better (some might say grabby) but at big speeds it seems to lose out. My judgement's a bit clouded though cos the condition of the fluid and discs would have been variable and a bit hard to compare.
