After 2 days of tracks days at Goodwood it would appear that my brake pads are coming to the end of their life. I would like to replace the EBC greenstuff pads on the front with something else. Any suggestions?

Why do you want something different than EBC green stuff? The pads are soft compound intended for sprinting so they will not have taken kindly to the pounding you gave them on the track day.
If you install harder pads, you will have a surprise when you try and brake hard at the 1st corner on a sprint.
If you do need to change compounds, EBC supply 5 different compounds dependent upon the type of use.

I forgot to change my front pads for Olivers Mount and still had my hard race pads in, at the first corner i took out all the cones and nearly a couple of Marshalls.....be warned!!

You will like Porterfields more. They are much more advanced and effective...different game entirely. Porterfield also makes rear shoes in a choice of kevlar compounds.

P.S. I use their RS-4

Try Hawk Blues - very aggresive pad - but if you want to REALL Stop!
