I have only really skimmed through this so flame me if im off topic!

However, I needed some new pads for my hi-specs and I spoke to the guy there, he said that EBC pads are better than they used to me so he sold me into some Redstuff (will change them for trackdays in the summber anyways). I have done 195 miles with them in and I think there ace, havent tested them to hard as there still bedding in but first impressions are impressive!

They're supposed to have revamped most of the compounds now, afaik the new part numbers should be:

Redstuff - AF88/26 (Road use for heavier/faster cars)

Yellowstuff - AF93/94 (Trackday pad)

Greenstuff - AF44/35 (Now re-classed as for lightweight vehicles for fast road use only)

Bluestuff - AF66/16SC (not E90 approved in most cases, but bite much better cold than Redstuff/Yellowstuff because of it, supposedly)

If they don't have that code on the end then they're the old compounds.

That's the ones, the redstuff at the top of your list. There on for the winter for daily driving, then some proper pads for track next year! I do rate them so far though, my 1144 were worn out and what was left looked glazed, and squeaked etc!

Took them up to about 550*c (well, the orange AP paint went yellow, which is somewhere around there, roughly where you can see the discs start glowing in the daylight) or so yesterday on a blat back home, no fade there at all, the 1144's would have been starting to fade a fair bit earlier than that.
I'll dig out the 600+ paint pot and see if they hold up past there shortly.

It's amazing how hot your discs can get whilst driving in first gear with you foot on the brakes Whistle

Yeah, you know how they reckon most cars spend their life at 95% cruising and 5% full throttle?
Well, I drive the other way around LOL

As a side line update, my Redstuff pads have had time to bed in and are now being used 'normally'. I think there great and amazing value for stopping power, no fade as yet although my discs are grooved.

I even think there better than my 1144's!
