Get the Mintex ones instead.

I've always had Greenstuff with mine because they were more or less free, but now I have to pay I'm going for the Mintex 1144's

Maybe you're expecting too much from them.

greenstuff are good for keeping wheels clean. mintex 1144 are the best out there but the amount of dust is shocking, also very anoying squeaky noise at low speed

Not overly impressed with Greenstuff, prefer genuine GM or MIntex pads.

Just use GM pads. There is not really any advantage to putting on fancy disks or pads in the long term. Best thing to do is upgrade the brakes as a whole by getting new calipers and disks

Well then thats ok... Because when the braking compound falls off of the shoe and the disks crack and warp you can just put your old equipment back on and not be out of pocket for a simple lesson in life
