Default anybody try EBC "red stuff" pads?

i have the crossdrilled slotted rotors on my gs And i was looking for a good Ceramic pad(only because of the low dust factor).....i just ordered the EBC red-stuff yesterday. anybody try these on cross-drilled slotted rotors. how is the bite? the last Ceramic pads i tried were the "Wagner" ceramic pads. no squeal , very little dust & they lasted a while but the bite was pretty week. some days i would wounder if i would come to a complete stop at a light. i don't know if that's typical for ceramic pads versus semi-metalic. can anyone give me there $.02???

I've used the red pads and the green pads.. Within the first 500 miles or so thats when the dust really appears because the pads are getting bedded in.. After that there is hardly any dust at all.. Right now I'm running EBC green stuff front and rear with Brembo slotted rotors.. I'm pretty happy with the out come.. This is a great alternative to buying a BBK... allthough they look very nice on a GS...

how is the braking power? do the RED STUFF pads grab ? or is there fade while you are braking?

I used to have both of them on my Integra, but that was it. The red ones work great, but they dont last long.

The green ones seems like they dont grab for nothing (specially when raining) and they dust like a ****. I just stick with OEM on the Lex.

From what i know the RED STUFF is a bit more performance than stock OEM pads. I wouldn't expect any stunning results with them on slotted/drilled rotors, especially low dusting. Maybe on blank rotors dusting is limited with RED STUFF but not with slotted/drilled rotors

I would go EBC green if I were you vs the red. The red pads WILL eat your rotors alot faster than you think. They are more for race applications anyway. Overkill for the street IMO.
