Different pads

Has anyone tried the, I believe green stuff or red stuff pads as an upgrade. Not new rotors and everything, just pads. Are they any good? Do they chew up the rotors? I'd like a full upgrade job on the brakes, but wallet will only go so far. So are these things worth it?

The Greens will last quite a long time and produce like little or no dust from my experience. I have heard mixed reviews about the EBC Greens on the amount they dust. I have them on my SVX and they are considered to be the "stock" pads. They grip okay and stop pretty decently considering the car weighs 3600lbs. I have not had any experience with the reds personally but told to stay away from them as they will eat up your rotors pretty quick.
