From what I red it's green, red, yellow, blue softer to harder. (see http://www.ebcbrakes.com/trackday&race.html ) Green and red are streetable, yellow and blue are for race track because they need to be warmed up to start to grip properly. There's two types of yellow so one type may be streetable too. I'm not sure about that. Green is the softest but with the best grip 0.46µ (typical friction level is 0.25µ to 0.35µ). Red has lower grip than green, but better than most regular pads and goes up to 1250 degrees or so (I don't remember exactly, but it's 1150 to 1350) as opposed to red stuff's 1000 degrees or so. So red has better fade and lasts longer while still havin good cold grip which is why I got it. No ABS here and no track use so better fade and longer life won over the great grip of green.

You may want to check more into Yellow stretability if you intens to use them on the road.

BTW pads work great no noise. I of course didn't forget to use brake quiet spray during instalation.

Edit ECB has a where to buy page: http://www.ebcbrakes.com/WhereToBuy.html
but it doesn't list all distributors. Try Google search for "yellow stuff" ebc pads (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22yellow+stuff%22+ebc+pads&spell=1) It'll bring up several advertizers that sell it.
