Need new brake pads in 5k, any suggestions which ones & how much?

I want the ones that give off little brake dust and mess

up my alloys!

Thanks!

I use EBC Greenstuff,hardly any brake dust and i think they are about £60 for fronts.

I know i might get shot down in flames.... but if you get EBC Greenstuff, it would be VERY wise to get some performance discs too...

They have a tendancy to warp discs... even decent ones

Urgh... I've got rears with matching discs and they're fine - still need fronts though but Mintex need to pull their finger out and manufacture some more - no one has got them in stock.
