I need to get front and rear brake pads for my Healey. On the Moss site they show a premium disc pad for 35.95.. They say this is the best pad they offer. Then on the site it also shows a "Greenstuff" pad for 99.95. Does anyone know the difference? Is it worth it? They also show a rear brake set for a "Hypoid " axel. I think that is the the axel on a 3000?
 
I just installed the classic gold ceramic from Moss and am happy with it's performance except it squeals. I did not but the special lube on the back of the pads, and I reused my old disks. I had to rebuild the calipers because the pistons had rusted from old brake fluid. Thoroughly flush your fluid and rebuild the calipers and rear wheel cylinders before replacing the pads and shoes.
Moss is happy to respond to inquiries about what parts fit your car.
Green stuff is for racing or high performance track use. Stick with the standard stuff for typical Healey driving in my opinion.
