Shortly I'm due some new pads. Anyone tried these "yellow stuff" ? Roughly the same price as Volvo geniune.

They reckon they're really good for fast road, and I live in an area where it's very hilly and twisty and regularly have the stock brakes fading and smoking. I'm thinking of these pads first then when the disks are shot replace them with grooved........

Any thoughts guys?

Sorry I do not have any experience with these pads but I was thinking about the Red Stuff pads myself due to their claim of very low dust. This was also verified by a couple of magazine articles I have.

Dust doesn't bother me in the least ;) It rains so much here that it's either washed off or covered in road dirt anyway. What I'm after is brake feel and stopping power, time after time, both hot and cold, which these pads are supposed to offer.

I may be the first to try them :) If I do I'll report my findings.........
