i use the redstuff at the front with greenstuff onthe rears and i havent cooked the brakes yet. the red just seem to keep biting no matter how much i abuse them. downside is they only last about 6 months with some hard road use .ive never tried the yellows yet. are they road legal or purely for track?

I would not use the EBCs on track. I would personally go for Ferodo DS2500s...
