I put EBC yellow stuffs in the front and redstuffs in the back on my Viggen last summer, and have been really pleased with them as an all around pad.
I did a track day at Autobahn on the full course and they held up great for the 20 minute sessions.
On the street they are impressive when cold, and only get better as you heat them up.
Their biggest downside is they dust LIKE CRAZY and mine make lots of noise (especially in MN when it's below freezing), but I never put any kind of anti-squeal on them before installation - so that could very well take care of it.
I previously had the Akebono Euro Ceramic pads, while ok for a street pad they overheated on the track quite quickly. They made essentially no dust though, which was nice. The yellows are better on the first stop then these were at any temp.
