What rotors are you using?
I'm on my second set of 6000 series greens. First set were in stock rotors, second set are on power stop drilled and slotted. Each time braking has improved. I'm driving a stock lx450 with an ARB front bumper.
Brake dust is manageable, and easy to clean.

Drilled rotors are bad. They can crack.

Have had good results from Green Stuff SUV pads, on factory rotors.
I have used EBC Greens in a few offroad trucks as well, they performed better than stock. EBC Yellows too for enduros and competition. For rotors, cross drilled (drilling after casting and just for looks like EBC sport rotors) can crack under stress, if they are casted with the holes (i.e. porsche, brembo, some stoptech), no problem, but more expensive.
Nothing screws up a weekend like coming off the track after cool down lap, and hearing that "pop" sound of disks cracking....

I wish I could say! I've only had the rig since the beginning of the year. I was going to pack the wheel bearings and while I had things open, I thought I would throw in some new pads just for the heck of it. I know that they are not drilled or slotted.
Are there 100 series green stuff pads that we could use in the 80 ?

I've used Porterfield R4S pads for almost 20 years on various vehicles, and would recommend these. They last forever, have great feedback and feel, and if you combine them with some Brembo blanks, you'll never have to think about your brakes again. I've used the Porterfield/ Brembo combo wherever bigger rotors and/ or better calipers weren't an option and every time, or whenever I've had to replace an OEM rotor or pad, and I've gotten years and years of service out of them. Come to think of it, I've never had to replace a set of these brakes; they last so long, I either upgrade the brakes or sell the car before they wear out. One in particular that I can remember was a '92 Celica AllTrac. This was my DD/ weekend canyon/ autocross/ open track day car and when I finally pulled the brakes after about 60,000 miles and three years to install some Wilwoods, the Brembo blanks looked like they were almost new and the pads had about 60% left on them. Mind you- I wasn't easy on the brakes...
I recommended this setup to a friend for his 80 with 35's, and while it's no sports car, it'll still hang you off the seat belt if he gets deep into the brakes. If I recall, he spent about $200 or so for the rotors and pads.

I'm another satisfied EBC user, I have greens on the 80, stainless lines as well.
I think Hawk HP's were my previous pads & the EBC's don't seem to fade like the Hawk ones did.
I'll make a point of finding EBC's again - maybe even try yellows as I seem to think they are their reccomended series (yellow 7000 series?)

Did you have any fitment issues with the EBC Greens for 100 series on your 80 series? I'm assuming part number DP61319?
There seems to be a majority of EBC pad owners going with the Greenstuff vs the Yellowstuff. This comparo is educational and makes you want to lean toward the Yellow stuff due to "larger tires, ...." etc..

I think most stick to green due to price. My next set will definitely be yellows though.
What's the part numbers for the yellow 80 series pads, or are you all using the 100 series version?
