Anyone used any of these? I get some brake pad fade on track days under heavy braking, thinking these pads may help. Probably the "yellow" type? Anyone had any experience. My brakes are FORD cosworth type brakes, but on a lighter car. Have heard some pads need to "warm up" for the road?

Im running EBC Reds on my TVR whci has upgraded drilled/grooved Cosworth 4x4 discs. Yes the reds need to be warmed up a bit - but even when cold they are pretty good. But when pressed hard they can grind a bit which doesnt inspire confidence when having to use the stoppers full on. I wont be using them next time. Agree with the previous post.

Ferodo DS25000s are a good bet.
