I normally dont repost CL listings but this one seems to be particularly good for GRMrs.
Went out and picked up a set for our Lemons car today, they are the real deal and brand new. Retail for $75 for our car but got them for $25 like the ad says.
I asked the guy if he's willing to ship, he's just an older gentleman funding his retirment with this stuff but he said he would ship if the shipping fees were paid.

Yup-EBC was discontinued at pep boys and they sold them all for $4 a set (front or rear). Unfortunately I found this out recently and they sold most of them out about a year ago.

Probably how he ended up with them. Has a bunch of struts too (mostly monroe) but $20 each.
Cheap local parts sources are good.

I should ask if he has any for a E30......
Have you used EBC Green pads on a track car before? I recall hearing tell that they wear out EXTREMELY fast when used on track. Like, after 40 minutes, gone fast. This is not from personal experience though. I have a set of Greenstuff pads on my street car and I'm unhappy with them for that application alone and would never try and use them on track.

I used EBC Greenstuff pads on my last Miata and probably got about 8 track days out of them. They were pretty easy on the rotors, too. I'm sure that they'd wear out quicker on a faster, heavier car, but I was pretty happy with them. I have EBC Yellowstuff pads on my current Miata, but it hasn't been to the track yet.
