Centric Posi-Quiet Metallic vs EBC Greenstuff

JS135 · 03-31-2016, 12:44 PM

I've Googled quite a bit and searched the forums a little. Have found some good reviews for the Posi-Quiet Metallics on other cars (Corvette). Haven't read many great things about the EBC Greenstuff.. But they're usually comparisons between the Green and Red.

Strictly street, daily driver, NO track use. Hopefully something that'll last a while and doesn't have insane dust. Only rears are needed.

Canadian, so I've noticed we of course don't have a great selection due to shipping from some sites.. Even Canada Parts Online has more expensive shipping than Rock Auto ($30+ vs $12)! Rock Auto has some of the Centrics for $100 shipped. Amazon.ca has Greenstuff for $100 shipped.

Ideas and opinions welcome.

You mention only rears are needed, what are you running on the front? I'd suggest a matched set of pads.

They were done soon after I got the car in 2013. There was a squealing I didn't like from the previous pads.. Car still says I have approx. 30k km left on them and they definitely appear to have some mileage left.

I have used Centric Posi in a bunch of my different cars for the past 10 years. Skip the ceramic and just get the Semi-Metallic ones. Decent bite with hardly any dust. Centric also owns StopTech. Great great product. I use it for my cars as well as my parents - Mercedes, Porsche, Audi, and BMW. No complaints.
