Look at EBC Brakes | Automotive Product Selector | Ultimax, Greenstuff, Redstuff, Yellowstuff, Bluestuff, Industrial, Brake Pads | Car Disc Rotors | Brake Fluid

I said it before I'll say it again. DS2500.

Stick some of them in the fronts and just get whatever for the rears. They'll be fine.

I've had good experiences with Endless pads. I think they were SSRs. Project Mu stuff is good too.

Yes, but what do you recommend?

We run Yellowstuff on Honeys GTT and they are great from cold and handle hard braking with no problems or squeels.

I run DS2500 on the front of mine in the 8-pot calipers and Yellowstuff on the rear. If I could get a Yellowstuff pad to fit the front, I would use them.

On standard GTS-t calipers I'd say go with Yellow stuff, and make sure you have steel brake lines, and 5.1 if you don't already..

Geoff and I cooked the reds in not long at all on standard calipers.

But I have cooked:

Endless SSS
DS2500
Greenstuff
Mintex M..something or other

I also do a good toasted sandwich

What discs is everyone running? That is going to have an impact on the pads too. For street only running on standard discs pad choice is gong to be different from track use with upgraded discs.

Honeys GTT has GTR brembos with standard plain discs & Yelowstuff. Standard plain rear discs with Yellowstuff. It has not really been on track, apart from the Ford Dunton test track, but it stops superbly.

My GTT has AP Racing 356mm grooved discs & K-Sport 8-pot calipers with DS2500 pads. Can make the ABS cut in @ over 90mph with the front wheels trying to lock up. Rear GTR Brembos with plain discs and Yellowstuff pads.

I know that some pads are dangerously unresponsive untill they have some heat in them (early Redstuff before the compound was changed) but Yellowstuff are great.
