I only use yellows, but my car is mostly a dedicated track beast. I would not recommend yellows for a car that is mostly driven on the street. Greens are a better choice for that.
You can get away with all sorts of stuff on a car that's not really daily driven. I've got Hawk DTC-70 pads on my WRX right now:

Recommended Use: A higher torque version of the DTC-60, this compound is designed for vehicles with high top speeds that require repeated high deceleration rates. Can be used on the front or rear axle or combined with the DTC-60 if split friction between the front and rear axles is desired. Road race and asphalt circle track cars.

SPECIAL NOTE: Due to the aggressive nature of the Hawk Performance Motorsports Compound pads, they are not recommended for street use.
These things are so squeally when cold, I think all the dogs in my neighborhood can hear me backing out of my driveway.
