Hi all,

I currently run 'green stuff' pads on the front of my mini. I've always got terrible brake dust from them, just wondering if this is common with these type pads and if there are better ones that don't produce as much brake dust.

Cheers,
James

I run greenstuffs also and get hardly any brake dust. Go figure..
Maybe you use the brakes too much. :)

Bet my Mini time around Wakefield is quicker than your MGC, Mick.
As a Mr Bentley reputedly once said:
"I make my cars to go, not to stop" :)
It does stop pretty well though.
