.........on stock (in this case '92) rotors?

(predominantly for street use, they say they bite well when cool)

Any input would be appreciated!

They must have changed something about the pads since I was looking at those and was told that it's for track only since the pads may not bite well on the initial cold bite.

I run Red stuff on all of my cars and for the street, no fade whatsoever.

I did. Final event of the season, needed them ASAP and found a local source. Ruined my rotors in one day. Never seen anything like that, actually pushed metal into the slots of my RB rotors. Good thing I was planning on replacing the rotors anyway this winter. I have some front yellow pads with 80% remaining... $1 BTW: I am not the only one that EBC yellows have junked their rotors in a single day.

Stick with Hawk DTC60, Carbotech XP10 or 8, Cobalt Friction or use Hawk HP+ if you are not hard on the brakes and want a decent street/track pad.

The yellow is made outta ceramic, so I figured the iron rotors will get pwned by them.....

Thanks guys, this is exactly the type of feedback I was looking for.
Since we no longer have a dedicated race car, it's back to balancing compromises!
