2011 +4 is Mintex MLB52 Should be able to cross reference easily
BTW I wouldn't touch EBC with a bargepole. Everytime Ive had anything to do with them, they've been given the float test.
(find the largest body of water you can, throw the pads in, if they float you keep them...)

Simon @ SiFab.co.uk perhaps I should have named this topic “WITCH Brake Pads” ...!

I use "Porterfield" a California product. Road Pads not Track Pads. Must send My old plates to them and they put the friction material on. Not inexpensive for a USer. Must be something in the UK that is similar.

My experience of Greenstuff pads is hardly any dust at all.
Maybe it's because I'm a light braker. I don't think they have much initial bite though.

When I changed to greenstuff I felt a difference. I personally prefer the feel. Mixed braking but usually gentle. Some harder though with a couple of genuine emergency stops.
No abs so it is easy to lock the front under HARD braking so a learning curve of feel helps. ABS is an upgrade I would have though. More so than many other “nice to haves”.

I guess we can now assume from the variety of opinions that it all depends on which model & therefore which calipers are fitted additionally which existing pad brand/version are installed so greenstuff may improve some installations whereas others take a backwards step by ‘upgrading’ My plus 8 was an 89 vitesse engined model with useless single pot calipers, only when I changed to decent twin pot calipers did It really improve matters.

There's also the not insignificant matter of driving style and usage profile. If you're the kind of driver that likes to do track days, and/or drive using the brakes heavily then you're going to need an entirely different compound from someone who likes to tour about the place smoothly and tends not to brake much. Personally, I don't think there's any such thing as a set of pads that are objectively better than another set for all circumstances. Too many variables.

I can get any Mintex brake pads made for Morgans, in any of their compounds
DONT use EBC.
Mintex own Ferodo which is their luxury brand.
