Warped disc's?

Aren't the red stuff designed for track only? As in you need to be running them hot.

I have to say red stuff are ok once they are hot, but you have to get them hot and keep them there. If you want first class from the get go Ferodo ds2500 pads are perfect.

What Ratty said, didnt find it hard to cook red stuff's plus when i did replace them early the compound was almost breaking up on the pad so didn't fill me with confidence. Although this was a few years ago and things may have changed I don't plan on using red stuff or ebc again, sticking with hawk hp+ :) .
