driving me nuts on white wheels of the 1973 san remo. Anyone tried another brand of brake pads such as carbon lorraine RC5+?

I used EBC Green Stuff pads on my classic, but don't know what serious drivers think of them. They solved the problem of dust on Old English White wheels in a low power/low demand setting, but I seem to recall the quick boys rubbished them, preferring Mintex. biglaugh

I have the Carbon Lorraines on the front and whilst there appears to be less brake dust (can't say for certain though as I'm not a heavy braker), the bite and pressure needed to apply does feel more progressive than the standard pads (2021 S btw)
