Red Stuff are track only pads. They only work when hot.

If you needed to stop quickly and the brakes are cold, you wouldn't be able to lock a wheel.

Go with Green. They still bite really well when cold and only get better with heat.

Actually EBC has 3pads; green (street), red (street/track), yellow (track). I need something more aggressive with conditions and my driving style. My main concern is rotors, is there a difference in quality of oem replacement?

R1 style premium OEM replacement rotors: approx. $73.99 shipped.

No, I just think happy thoughts and the car comes to a stop. I'm talking a mountain here skippy. Not a 2% downgrade. You can keep it in gear the whole way down but it really won't keep your speed down until you redline.

^ um, yes shipped?

I'm pretty much done here.

That's crazy, lol. If shipping didn't rip into my wallet I would buy them but most places charge $15 shipped or it's free.

My mistake

RacerFreakXXX · 06-30-2010, 08:01 AM

Well it turns out there was a glitch with MI's shipping rates,lol. I win

No worries Bluevitz-rs, I didn't know till I checked the web site.

I had my yellow and red mixed up. I thought the red were the track pads and the yellows were the street/track pads.

I have Greens on my Honda, but the brakes suck either way on that car LOL.
