EBC pads, anyone using them?

EBC now has Redstuff pads for M235 (DP32130C - frt, DP32133C - rear). Has anyone tried these? How have they performed?

I have these on my car. Initial bite is better (and not neck snapping annoying) and brake feel and modulation is better. I think they are worth it. I haven't made it to the track, but I like them on the street.

I went with red instead of yellow, because of street driving in the cold. Yellow need heat to get bite. Even at 0 degrees the reds have performed better than stock pads.

I saw your original post that got spammed with a bunch of crap. I agree with you, stock brakes are spongy and too soft on initial bite. I think the reds are a nice upgrade.

How long have you had them on the car (miles, months)?

I agree with you that for DD use the yellows are a little aggressive unless you lived in S Calif or FL where day time temps rarely dip below 45.

Thx,

I've had them on the car just under 3 months, which equates to about 3k miles.
