red stuff pads a good idea ....?

[gtadvmike]

Was just looking to buy a nice set of grooved discs and found a deal on ebay ...
front and back grooved discs with red stuff pads for front and mintex for back is this a good option to go for? My starlet is hopefully going to be 160 - 180 bhp when its back on the road and have heard red stuff can be sh** when cold, just dont know if the starlets quick enough or if its total overkill .... ADVICE PLEASE

i have yellow stuff on mine and there a lot better than standard pads imo think the red stuff perform better at higher temperatures more for track use would go for the yellow stuff myself mate

EBC Green - Fast road, not up to much.
EBC Red - Very fast road/trackday. Great all rounder and fine from cold.
EBC Yellow - Race, but some cars use them on the road.
EBC Blue - Endurance racing.

For some reason EBC Red and Yellow have ended up back to front in Starlet circles!?
