EBC sports brakes got them. "Green stuff" series. I can't get any in PL but Martin's got them in UK.
no car, why drive a car if you can fly SAAB

Just be a little careful with Ferodo pads, on the 440 they wore down in a year and covered feck all miles....my next pads will be EBC Greenstuff jobbies. Although, i believe chris1roll uses genuine Volvo ones at £35 p/pair and he thinks they are more than up to the job, and he's using uprated discs...
