From my knowlege.. the green pads are better for streeting and the reds are more for high performance aps.. Takes a little longer to get heat into them..

yeah, red is a race pad and on the street will preform like shit, especially on cold days and when you first start driving, and probably throughout the course of your normal driving you will not have good stopping power

i've heard Hawks are better though
right? Hawks?

EBC Green Stuff pads were pretty good. My only issue with them was their poor craftsmanship on attaching the caliper clip to the backing of the pad. It popped off and I had to get someone to weld the clip to the back. Otherwise, performance was great and brake dust was minimal.

However, I do like my Mintex A/F pads much better. Initial "bite" feels better, they exhibit less fade when pushed, and they run about $40 cheaper for the set (on my vehicle).
