No yellow are race pads. There is a subtle difference. For the most part, when this group talks about track pads, we are talking about a for fun drive at the track mostly under control for 20 minutes at a time with cool a down lap and limited passing, etc. These conditions are completely different then a set of pads that can stand up to a 20 minute to 24 hour fender banging race, dive bombing corners, and eleven tenths all the time.

For $50 bucks, get them both, and run the greens and then when you are comfortable at a track and get the feel for HARD braking, throw the reds in for your second track event. These are $80-100+ a set pads.

And yes, they changed compounds a little, but not enough to change what we have described. I've run both new and old reds, and would not reccomend them for street use in either compound especialy for winter use. They will work on the street, but they are very noisy, and alternate from no bite to massive bite depending on temp.

Both are very aggresive and do wear rotors more compared to stock soft pads over time, but if you want good stoping, you have to realize that rotors are also a wear item, just like the pads.
