Default EBC pads

Anyone running redstuff pads? I was thinking about these or yellows, but yellow doesn't seem to last very long. Most street use with an occasional track day here and there. I see a few folks running greens, but was looking for a pad with a little more bite and not going to break the bank.

i saw too much reports about bad expiriences with EBC.
i say get something else.
i had Hawk HP+ and they completely fade under heavy load so i don't recommend them either.

Carbotech AX6. It's still a street pad but there good enough for a random track day or two.

i have the reds and i dont like them.
they are great when hot, but not at all confidence-inspiring when anything but hot.

i was thinking of going down the ferodo ds2500 route next time round .... or mintex oem replacements if budget doesnt permit it. the ferodos arent exactly cheap.

that's like $300 in pads alone...damn this is getting expensive But if that's what it takes to have minimum fade at the limits, so be it.

I had red stuff pads on my TSX and liked them so much that I bought them for the S. I feel the are a decent pad that dont dust like crazy. Axxis Ultimates are my favorites but dust bad!

currently running red stuff pads on standard discs from (brakes international). not at all happy with discs or pads! have had brake fade under heavy braking only after a short series of bends and now the discs have a shudder to them coming through the peddle! wouldnt reccommend from my experience! a mate is running the ferodo ds 2500 and dba 4000 discs and he raves about them so will be getting me ferodo pads for a start and if the budget allows some dba's and if not i'll get my hands on oem discs somewhere!
