What I find confusing is that TRF describes the Green Stuff pads as Kevlar. It
is in the product description and again in the line item for that part:
Brake Pad Set, Kevlar, Green Stuff, for fast road, autocross, and mild race
So if the Green Stuff pads are Kevlar, what makes them different from other
pads described as Kevlar (other than the green thing..)

List:
This brings up a couple other questions. If the green stuff is a marketing
success, what does that mean in regards to those pads? Are they just as good
as regular brake pads, but not better? If I recall correctly (big if) then
one of the benefits of the green stuff pads was also reduced brake dust. For
those who have switched, is this the case? Like you Stan, I have accumulated
a set of green stuff brake pads and will put them one one of these days but
they might go on sooner if the amount of brake dust was reduced. Guess I am
lucky I was too cheap to buy the big buck rotors.
