I installed the Yellow pads about 2 weeks ago. The first week I was very hard on them since they had a squeak under 5mph on soft braking. They produce about the same dust so far as the stocks but stopping power is improved. I was told by EBC these cause 0 rotor damage but do last a bit shorter then the reds. Personally Ill take no rotor damage and buy more pads. I paid 203 out the door from one of the vendors that EBC recommends.
Good to hear, I may try the Yellows for track use...I like my reds for the low dust factor though. And for anyone wondering BMCP carries the whole EBC line and will price match!
So, the difference between the Reds and Yellows?!?! Stopping distance and dust... what's the low-down on both?!?!
The Yellows are geared more towards track use and will make more dust but probably have more stopping power. The Reds are a ceramic pad and stop great, but are a bit harder but will produce less dust and should be quiter Here is a complete breakdown of the differnt pads. http://www.srtconnection.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2911
The reds will also damage the rotors a bit more. I will tell you the yellows stop better then the stocks by a noticeable amount. Yes the squeak went away totally. I didnt know BMC would price match thats great! The link posted is word for word what EBC says. I am thinking that the yellows are a bit less dust then stock but need a dry week to test.
didnt you add steel braided lines at the same time? QUOTE=sdcarguy;71021]The reds will also damage the rotors a bit more.

Yep sure did. Compared to the upgraded lines and stock pads(1fastsedan has this setup) it stops better still.
ooo... how different was the pedal feel with the braided lines? I think with some pads the dusting drops off significantly after a 1000 miles or so.
