Yellows?

Aren't they the most hardcore - ie - rubbish until they're up to temp - ie - dangerous on the road? :\

I have been talking to ebc and apparently the compound has changed, and from what i have been told they are like oem cold but when hot look-out. They are called there road track pads. Ah well if i dont like them ill just use them for track days and get green stuff for normal driving.

And just so you know sov, im not one of those idiots that go out and do mods that are "dangerous". I have reasearched alot and ill be the only one driving and i have driven a few cars before that brakes need warming up before proper pad feel so i think i can cope. but thanks for your concern.

Although a full race material and capable of high temperature use with very good wear life, this new formulation sets a new trend in race type brake pad compounds. The “bite” from cold is superb which is uncommon with race materials (normally requiring warm-up)

Fair call Dave, I think i read it differently then you ment. SOrry for overreacting.

I had initial doubts about yellow but when i read that article on the mk4 r32 and also talked to ebc, (as soon as i mentioned i occasionally track my car they said yellow, i then enquired and said that my wife will be driving it and i didnt want to have to warm them up. They said yellow will be fine.) So thats why i chose them. also read quite a few reviews on them and nearly everyone said that they are awesome for both street and track. So ill have some feed back soon as well. and like i said worst comes to worst ill get greens for street and use yellow for track.
