Default Replacement Pads

I currently have a D2 Racing brake Kit on my scooby (330mm 8 Pots), which currently needs new pads. However, i'm not sure what's a good pad to get, so i've been looking on here:

http://www.bigbrakes4u.co.uk/d2-raci...s/cat_152.html

Can anyone advise of the following which to avoid/which to go for:

EBC Yellow Stuff £64.99
EBC Blue Stuff £72.99
EBC Red Stuff £64.99
Ferodo DS2500 £124.99

I've been warned against Red & Blue stuff as been told they aren't practical for road use, as they take a while to get warmed up? How true this is though, I don't know.

Thanks!

Hi
I would check which pads size they have listed as the prices are all wrong for the D2 8 pot front pads , these are the pads you need for them

http://www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk/~god...?id_product=98

They are the Bluestuff NDX , not the old bluestuff compound , not everyone can sell these , the price for the DS2500's are way too cheap , they are over £200 a set

Cheers Ian

I have Red stuff on my 02 sti but they came on it when i bought it so i cant compare. But while they do grip better when the is some heat in them i still feel safe when they are stone cold.
