I've used them before, liked them a lot, much better than the Hawk I'm using now. prob going back to them or the blues.
The rear would dance around under hard braking, even better when they where warm.
I would recommend the Bluestuffs... I have them on my car and they are really good. If you want the best on track you need Carbotech XP8 but they do squeal like a pig.

Red stuffs are a good all round pad. Good from cold, great when hot. Best matched with EBC Turbo Groove discs. But still work ok with standard discs.
Blue stuffs are better than Reds. But don't expect them to work straight from cold. They need some warming up first. Once warmed up thou, they keep performing. They are hard thou and will probably wear out the disc before the pad.

A friend of mine swears by them and wont fit anything else.
Personally I have never tried them but have had good results with Mintex 1155's, which is what i had fitted at the sprint day.

Yep, I find the Red Stuffs perform excellently with a grooved disc. And as Wodj says, a good all round pad.
If there is a desire to track the car a bit more, however, you would either need to be a bit gentler with the braking, or upgrade to a big brake kit.

cheers guys...some sound advice indeed....the carotech's certainly do perform Tim,more than noticable.......probably wont get chance for another track sesh...just after a good all round pad so the redstuff pads should match my drilled/grooved discs..
