I'm very surprised you say you need to get the yellows warm, and can only assume you are a very gentle braker ?, in that case switch to redstuff.
Having used both reds/yellows, and the DS range I can guarantee you the DS range need way more heat to work, have a totally wooden feel, and aren't as good, just ask any plod who drives the response cars, where most are on ebc yellows, as the DS range failed the tests!!
Ask stu@msd about his DS pads, that fell to bits, but not the yellowstuff he switched to.

Obviously the DS pads fall apart if the are used outside their heat range, but so do all pads LOL. This is why there are different codes for different uses (same as the colour codes for the EBC range).
You wouldn't recommend EBC Black or Green stuff for these applications (as they wouldn't be up to the job), yet seem unable to grasp that people using DS2000 or DS2500 for unsuitable applications causes the same issues
