As I stated stu had no problems with the yellows despite using them in exactly the same conditions the DFS were specced for, oh sorry I've already said that.
The feel of the DS range doesn't even remotely come close to that of the EBC ones mentioned, but then neither it seems does the performance!!
I use yellows at -C temps and have no issues with cold performance, as most others don't.
Personally I give stu a lot more credit than that, and think he knew what pad to use in the DS range.
