EBC yellow do fade on the track under hard braking, my pads started to break off after the second hpde event on them. Not a fan of any of the ebc products pads or rotors. I have personal experience using both.

I've been running HP+ all around for now while on street tires (RS3s). but will go to ht-10s front/HP+ rears once I go back to Rs. Why HP+? Because they double duty as my autox pads and they're perfect for that too.

yes, I have. I have since changed to cobalt pads, much better composition and build quality, holds up amazing.

How did the blue stuff compare with yellow? Did it still chunk and such?

they stay quiet if you go to the track often enough
(or try bedding them in again after they start getting noisy)

blue pads had much better bite, they still chuncked after awhile issue with seperation from the backing plate

LOL yes on both counts - nothing like pulling up to the stoplights in a Evo X and it squeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaals and having people next to you look at you like "why is that car making that noise"?
. Sorry, my 30K car sounds like a hooptie, is all I can say. The brake dust doesn't bother me personally as much, I can see how some folks may be put off by this.

Wait till you really hit a hard braking course, ebc yellow will fail, I actually had chuncks missing after two track events. A good daily/mild pad is Axis ult ceramics, but they will over heat on a heavy brake track like Road Atlanta, but they work great for daily/autocross/ and average track. I use Cobalt XR2 front and XR4 rear on the track. Great pads!
