Any previous threads on this or does anyone have any experience of these.
Some forums say they are fantastic and others wouldn't touch them with a barge pole.....which is all very helpful.........not.

would appreciate any comments

I had red stuff pads on my Cerbera, were a wee bit juddery when cold but once warmed up were superb. Would use them again. Can't comment on the yellow stuff.

have tried both red and yellow on the saab, that had AP 356mm 6 piston brakes. Yellow are awful, red are great.

Let me explain awful: Were too hard and did not perform well on everyday use and when you wanted to drive fast, they got heated resulting bad biting.

I can not remember which is which but the pads are graded for road or track work.....One is too much for road and I think its yellow.....but not sure.

Dreadful for me. Had reds and are too hard. You go hooning up to a roundabout press the brakes and there is no initial bite which then knocks your confidence and ruins the driving experiance. Go for Ferrodo there is a thread somewhere with the part numbers. They are about £35 an axle too.

Right, yellows are for fast road and light track. But even on track they were not good. Needed ages to warm up, and when they did, they lasted for one or two brakings.

I had EBC yellow stuff pads fitted with new Maserati discs on my QP. Despite attempts to counteract the noise, the squeal was horrendous. The pads were returned and replaced with Formula Dynamics.

I have red on the 4200 and use it for everyday traffic driving. They work fine for me.

Thanks for all that. The comments on the yellows are much in line with others. Plus I was concerned they may eat the discs. I'll look at the Ferodo thread.

Cheers again
