I'd go for grooved as drilled will crack and often rust from the inside out

Or road cars over 220bhp 
That said they will need replacing again in a few months time... only a set a year and tyres every 6-9 months

I had green pads once they were shit from cold but not too bad after warming up.
Had mintex 1144's in my Hispec four pots and never got them to fade and they worked from cold dont think theres much better out there tbh

I had green stuff pads on my CTR... had to replace the originals after 6k 
They were much better than std but agreed with fad, took forever to warm up!!!!
My CTR had a very tough 8 months with me, the tyres were completely worn down as well and I only had it for 8 mths form new and did 10k

Might have to give the mintex ones a go next time

There was LOADS less brake dust when I switched from the std Honda ones (which used to cake my alloys in crap) to the green stuff IIRC!

Standard pads + brakes which are rubbish and you have to press hars, thus creating more dust + cross spoke wheels =
