    Centric premium blanks on my car, hard to beat for the money. Not cool looking though.

    As long as you can stand the helicopter noise. I've yet to drive a car with slotted rotors that didn't make some odd noises while breaking.

    I've ran these setups:

    Oem pads & centric blanks
    Hawk hps+ & centric blanks ate 200 fluid

    Of those 2 I liked the hawks better than oem, less initial bite but I think they worked better overall and def dusted less than OEM's but that not saying alot cuz the OEM's are dusty as fuck.

    Next setup I have on deck:
    Centric blanks
    Ate 200
    Techna fit ss lines all around
    Carbotech ax6 f&r
    2" brake ducting all around

    I had the Hawk HPS on my fronts and was shocked at how much better the EBC yellows were once I swapped. It took a few days to get used to the difference, kept stopping short of the lights.

    So yellows will work well for every day street use?

    Yes, from what I understand it's the closest pad you can get to a track bad that still works well when cold and doesn't squeal.

    Ax6's r prob as far as ud want to go on the street as far as track pads.. Ebc yellows ain't shit comparably.. And yellows do squeal depending on ur setup.. My boy has em on his m roadster and they squeal cold but it goes away fast.

    I use yellows and centric blanks on my car for 40k miles 4-5 track days, a couple auto-x. It's the perfect combo IMO.

    I'm going wilwood BBK soon because I'm getting past the yellows at the track on my sticky tires, but for 99% of the people yellows are perfect.

    All these positive reviews on the Yellows are making me look forward to giving them a shot once my StopTechs wear out.

    Unfortunately it might be a while as lately the Speed has only been driven like 6-8k miles a year :(

    I have the CorkSport BBK that I picked it up from @brandonf and it's phenominal. Still on the pads that came with it and they have great initial bite and I've yet to feel any fade. Probably going to swap to Ferodo pads when the time comes.
