http://www.potn.co.uk/blog/2009/11/h...h-performance/ that link has some basic info on pads, and what the colours mean...

siamblue had porsche caliper set up on his hmmmmmmm, i think red stuff have higher fade temps over standard green stuff and yellowstuff pads. If the cold braking is the same mate then go for them mate, have you looked into mintex pads aswell

a had the mintex on a few cars and like them a lot but is will to try something new ( keep it clean please lol) and will try the red stuff , but these seem to be a good pad , the volvos a lot lighter than the alfas like lol so need something that will work well all round not just when hot.
the ds2500 are a few quid like so a dont think it will be them like cheers
