I had redstuff pads on my veccy v6
they wore down pretty quick and there was lots of brake dust (messy seen as you have white wheels)
Get some gm pads and hacksaw a line into them (stop them glazing over) and they're just as good as any others

why hacksaw them? what do you mean to stop them glazing over?

Put a hacksaw line in the pad,
It stops them going shiney and making a noise, and will help reduce brake fade and and brake dust mess
