EBC Bluestuff vs. Yellowstuff
I searched the forum and I could not find a thread that compared the two.
I am looking to drive my Rx7 on the weekends and track it at least twice a year.
Budget for brakes are around $200.
Both EBC Yellowstuff and Bluestuff are in my budget range but I am more interested in hear what the RX community has to say about each one. It would also be great to hear from someone that has used both.

I have had both brake pads. I have the 99 spec brakes on my car as well.
The yellowstuff dust a hair less and are a little softer pad. They work well on the street and if you aren't going ***** out they will work just fine.
The bluestuff have more braking power especially at 100+MPH and have better fade resistance.
Both do not make any noise when braking (after broken in) and both have some dust, bluestuff dusting a little more.

Plus one recommendation for Hawk HP+. They do dust a lot though.
I've heard some horror stories about EBC cracking or coming apart under high heat situations.

No experience with those, but I had some EBC reds that were literally crumbling away after 2 track days. I have carbotech XP10s now and we will how they do at the track this weekend, but just bedding them in they feel way better.
I havent heard anything bad about the HP+ as far as performance, but im told they squeal and chew up rotors on the street if you dont keep a good transfer layer down.

It seems like there are horror stories for both EBC and HP+ pads. I am pretty sure I will be trying out the Yellowstuff first to see how I like it. I had a great conversation with LOOkatme about the difference between Yellowstuff and Bluestuff.
I actually have a set of Hawk Blue pads that I considered using for track days, however, I read they chew through your rotors.

EBC Yellowstuffs have a very dull pedal and lack of stopping power for the first couple of braking exercises but once warm they are ok. However, on a track they fade so fast and it makes them very frustrating.
Hawks are definitely aggressive but work well. Project Mu HC+ are a very good street/track pad and don't seem to fade for me but they dust a lot like the Hawks (maybe not quite as much). They are gentle on the discs though.
Carbotechs are great but are apparently very harsh on discs.
