Handy. I'll need new discs and pads sometime this year, I will definitely be putting yellowstuff on mine.

Probably OEM. Haven’t looked into it much yet. Will speak to Voicey first.

I'm going red stuff on the QP. I have the front pads just need to buy the rears & some discs. Oh and some tyres & a wheel refurb!
The myriad of EBC part codes for the same vehicle is hard work. Seems to be more than one option & part code for red stuff on QP for same model/discs. Very confusing. Even got different part codes from one supplier to the EBC shop. I guess the only way for sure is to get the wheels off & measure the existing pads.

Perhaps there are less options for the 4.7 GT but when I called EBC they were super useful and quick to locate the right ones.
Any reason you are going for reds? I'm replacing mine with yellow as they are just not good at all until they get some heat in them - which is not ideal for me.

Ultimax: *These “Black Stuff†pads are EBC's OEM replacements.* If you're restrained enough to keep your pedal-stomping on the track and only want something for your tame and casual daily driver, these are your pads.* This doesn't mean, however, that they're not an improvement over the factory pads.* Remember those steel fibers we discussed above?* You'll find them in Ultimax pads, but only if you look closely enough.* Where many pads contain up to 50% steel fibers, Ultimax have no more than 4%.* Not 40, not 14.* Four. That means a better grip, longer rotor life, and less corrosive dust.
Green Stuff:* One step up from OEM, you might call Green Stuff pads a performance street formula.* Not at home on the track, they're polite, best suited for aggressive daily drivers, offering a softer pedal feel and low to medium dust.* They come in three varieties: 2000 Series, for small, lightweight, low-hp vehicles that generate less heat; 6000 Series, for commuting SUVs and light trucks; and 7000 Series, a higher-end version of the 6000.
Red Stuff:* This is EBC's flagship pad, probably because it's so versatile.* This is the best pad for larger, heavier cars, and those with more than 200 hp.* If you own a muscle car, drive it aggressively, and occasionally take it to the track, this is probably your pad.* Red Stuff pads do have a slight bedding period, after which they'll be more than quiet enough for the street, and they generate almost no dust, being completely free of steel fibers.
Yellow Stuff:* Here EBC pulled the friction and wear string a little further along.* Yellow Stuff pads are designed to get hotter and work better at those temperatures.* Remember, heat makes friction.* There are two variations of Yellow Stuff, one for cars up to truck weight, and one for Trucks and SUVs.* Yellow Stuff pads, in either variety, are formulated to heat faster, so they're perfect for the track, but tackle the street well, too.* They're a favorite among British police.
Blue Stuff:* EBC calls their Blue Stuff pads a track pad that can be used for the street.* They follow the same model as the Yellow Stuff, with more friction and more wear.* These are ideal for the heavy, no nonsense rigors of the track.* EBC has also found them to be extremely effective on performance SUVs such as the Porsche Cayenne and the BMW X5.* James Hallet, EBC's vice president, even uses them on his Lexus SUV, and found them a massive improvement over the OE pads.* EBC is quick to point out that Blue Stuff pads may not work well with older, single caliper systems, and is much better suited to a racing setup.

No noise. Certainly some dust. But I don't recall it being *much* worse than standard

The yellows I had on my 4200 were much dustier than the OEM's it had on it before, but the stopping power was massively improved.
As I said. They'll be going on the GT when I replace the discs and pads.

EBC pads went through a massive change probably 10 years ago n ow. They improved dramatically both in effectiveness when cold and the amount of brake dust they produced. It use to be even with Green that you would get the **** clinch the first few times you pressed the pedal in the morning.
I always use yellows now, they do produce more dust than std pads but n o where near as bad as they use to be, there is a slight reluctance to grip when really cold but this is only for the first application but after that they are superb. Massive retardation again and again and little fade even when cooking, the SZ has very poor air flow over the front brakes and they are guaranteed to cook but yellowstuffs hold in there for a couple of extra laps over anything else.
