Looking for EBC Green Stuff brake pads or a good place to buy them relatively cheap. I need GVR4 front pads and GT Rear pads. Thanks in advance. - Op

If you cant, and probably wont find Green pads for the back of the GT, than 1G FWD pads will also work since they're the same caliper. Im almost positive that the GVR4 is the same, but double check on that one first.

You're right. They don't exist. In fact, no one makes high performance brake pads for a GT. The best you can get are PBR metal master pads, which for the rear, are just fine.

1g FWD calipers are not the same as a GVR4 caliper. GVR4 calipers are dual-piston, and take the same pads as a 93-99 AWD DSM. 1g FWD are all single piston, and take different pads.

Optical, I'm not sure why you're set on Green pads. I've never heard great things about them, or any EBC products for that matter. Hawk makes some nice pads, I would look into them. Try www.tirerack.com, they have some decent prices and good inventory. If you need a set of rear GT pads, hit me up, I can get them through my work at a decent price.

I should have been more clear. I thought the GVR4 REAR caliper and 1G FWD were the same but they're not. The 1G FWD rear caliper is the same as the Colt/Mirage Turbo though. You can also use Galant VR4 rear rotors as they are also the same as the CSM.

I did NOT know that Gvr4 REAR rotors were the same as GT rears...this opens a little more rotor options up for me. Thanks man

Here are the front pads for around $42 shipped. I just scored a brand new master and slave cylinder from this place for $30. :P

Also the pads for the GVR4 are the same on the rear as the mirage turbo. The caliper is very close but the bracket is slightly different, either way they use the same brake pad.
