AS the thread says.I have done a search but the Green pads need a lot of heat to work.Is their something in the middle for street and strip.

Green stuff works from stone cold.

Yes, I have greenstuff on my car now.
Even stone cold it pulls up well.
Probably has something to do with the 280mm discs and 4 spot calipers.
Either way, it stops.

incase you didnt already realise, you dont have to use hilux pads, you can modify early WRX or 200SX pads to fit, giving more range.

Greenstuff are great. You do feel them bite better once you've given them a good thrashing and warmed them up, but even from dead cold they stop absolutely fine. No problems.
And Evo is on the money, there are a huge number of pads for different models which fit.

Ive also heard similar things.
Do you know exactly how they need to be modified?

I've got bendix ultimates (for 200sx) in mine, no modification necessary.

I have bendix heavy duty 4wd Hilux pads in my Hilux calipers and they work great, from cold, from hot, from anytime.

i'm using Mitsubishi GTO pads. they fit too, and they are deeper than the 200SX or WRX pads so they swipe more of the disc. they are Greenstuff, and yes i do agree with all the above comments. well worth the money!!!
