Fast Road/Sports pads are still suitable for road use and though not as good initially at really low temps but can operate at much higher temp ranges without drop off (assuming the brake fluid doesn't boil), they are often made of more aggressive materials and have more chance of wearing down the discs in the process What I EXPECTED: The boost in braking power I felt in Step1, I was expecting to FEEL a similar boost in brake power with this step2 change. Step1: Changed all four pads from OEM pad to Red Stuff pad. In that same change, also replaced all 4 rotors with new OEM rotors.
Once seated any brake pad made by EBC or anyone else, performs better once the pad goes through heat curing or what we call “Green Fade” which happens during its first severe use. Race pads operate much higher in the temp range are usually made of much harsher materials that can abrade the discs much more rapidly and therefore fitting them on a car used for the Sunday shopping run could lead to much poorer braking event unless you are driving to the supermarket in a manner befitting of Police Camera Action!We advise using disc heat paint to ensure green fade is avoided, continue reading below for more details Why so long to bed in any way – We can (but don’t) sell pads that are classed as soft and bed in even faster or very abrasive pads that scrub away at the rotor, cause lots of dust and give the impression of a shorter bed in time. So the balance here is to make a variety of pads according to the different driving styles and events so that users can choose what’s best for them.
The reason I made this change: I was preparing my car for a turbo. Figured I'd improve braking before I mess with horsepower.

So I did some on-line research which included amongst others, the BMW Owners Club, Honest John, Facebook etc. and came to the conclusion that I ought to try some Greenstuff brake pads.
Main reason: I could not find a tuner (either local or remote) who would tune the ECU after a turbo add. Not only a high friction pad but very resistant to heat and lots of heavy braking means that Yellowstuff has been used with great success in fast street cars and Police vehicle brakes alike.
On my 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer 2.4L GTS (not the Ralliart, not the Evo), I made two changes starting in May 2018.
