Do Red Stuff take a bit of heat to get going mate? I swear by Ferodo DS2500's all round front/rear and they are superb. They also require little heat to get going but still brake like a mofo when out on track and getting hot
I'd no issues with my yellowstuffs when they were cold on my daily driver, they changed the compounds across the range about 2 years ago to eliminate some of the dusts issues & how they perform when cold - I've never used the Ferodo's though so can't offer a like for like comparison...
