No. this is kind of an over generalization, but the R4-S is a streetable version of the R4 race pad. HP+ is a trackable version of the HPS. They end up in about the same place, but with different performance characteristics. HP+ are better cold, R4-S are better hot.
The greens are somewhere in between and beyond. They work extremely well cold and hot, but are a very high CF pad and may feel grabby to some on the street.
I have run every one of these crossover pads on at least 2 and maybe 3-5 cars now and am the most happy with the EBC products from a price/performance perspective, but I am not a normal driver. I like the positive/aggressive feel of the greens and the yellows, but they are not for everyone.
HPS or HP+ may be the best bet for a DD with some autocross the former for your N year and later for in class years and start trying more and making your own pad test. Again, just generalizing.
