one of my friends has a chipped Passat 1.8T and he recently put Greenstuffs on it -he's since been getting bad fade too: he said the braking power was improved, but the fade is now worse. I guess that's what happens when you put a pad with a higher friction coefficient on a system that hasn't got an increased thermal capacity (ie. discs/calipers remain the same size) - the system can't shed quickly enough the extra heat generated by the improved braking? Just a thought, does that make sense?
I think they changed their compound a few years ago.
When I bought the S2 it had 4pot brakes and greenstuff pads - And it stopped extremely well - to the point where it was a definate selling point of the car!
replaced the pads when they wore out and had nothing but grief from the new greenstuff - overheating, fade etc.
Redstuff were much better, but the monobloc / DS2500 combination is really where things came on leaps and bounds!
