It's time for me to take the car in for pads... service I've been meaning to do for a little while. I have some questions about what pads to get.

Does anyone use these(or ANY EBC pads)? It seems that they may be decent pads but I just wanted to check. They are cheaper than OEM's cost wise so I am looking into it. Also I am thinking of going "all out " and just getting the mazdaspeed pads as they are only about 50 bucks more than OEM... Worthwhile? What do you think. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Dont spend the extra for Mazdaspeed. Might as well just get EBC or HPS pads and save some cash.

ive tried both the mazdaspeed and the ebc green stuff, mazdaspeed is definitely worth the bucks if you are looking for better stopping power. from my experience, mazdaspeed pads offer a better "intitial bite" than ebc green stuff; ebc green stuff you really need to get on the brakes to stop, but mazdaspeed you just tap the brakes and it stops hard.
i.e. one thing though, mazdaspeed makes a lot of squeaking noise, and it could be really annoying lol.

Is green still better than OEM though? Cause right now I just need to get new pads.. I just figured if I could get a good deal on the Mazdaspeed now would be the perfect time to do it. However if the EBC ones are better than OEM and less expensive than Mazdaspeed... I may go that route. I just wanted to make sure that they don't just flat out suck.

to me, ebc green stuff is about the same as stock lol. go mazdaspeed dude, you wont regret spending the extra money. order them on onlinemazdaparts.com too dude, its where i got mine from. fast free shipping and no tax.
ps. i do not work for or am affiliated with onlinemazdaparts.com, just have had nothing but great experiences ordering from them.

mazdaspeed pads? LOL

why not get brake pads from a BRAKE company? Cheaper and better to boot

because hes asking about ebc green stuff and mazdaspeed, and i am telling him it sucks (i am currently running ebc green right now) and ill never get these again.
