Red Stuff or Yellow Stuff? My car is silver, so I expect the red would look better, but I am more concerned with performance, so I am leaning to yellow.

If I could afford a second car, I would. Living in Indiana, I need a car I can drive on pothole inundated roads and in winter. My 2010 Camaro SS sat almost an entire winter. I traded it for a BMW that I got to drive more often. BMW maintenance got me to trade it on the Buick that had full warranty.

**** Carbotech. F-ing assholes. It takes a LOT for me to "boycott" a company. They are at the top of the list. Their piece of shit defective product fails on my car and damn near kills me. I tell them about it in a very non threatening way, (not expecting or asking for anything), and they go full insult attack mode and called me a liar. Yes, used the word liar. Their answer after I told them that I would be posting the email that they sent me to various forums was a demand to send them what shrapnel was left of my old pads as well as the rotors on my dime, buy new pads at full price, and see if it happens again.
I'll pass.
EBC or Hawk for a driver IMO.

Too many options on the website. Without Brembo calipers, yes, but the MM differences get me. I have no idea what mine are.

+1 for Hawk. Low residue and better performance for the win.

I'll go Hawk ceramic next time, I love my Hawk HPS on the vette, but they are very dusty, stop great though!

Hawk needs Brembo calipers. I do not have Brembo calipers.
