I think those are more for racing - where the pads constantly run at extremely high temps.
I don't think they would be that good for every day driving. Besides, the green stuff pads have a higher coefficient of friction (grab more).

The Redstuff's are race pads. You will experience a drastic lost in braking performance when the pads are cold.

Agree. "Racing" pads are really only effective and efficient once they reach a certain (extremely high) temp --- which you will never reach during everyday driving. Reds aren't necessary and you'll prob experience less efficient braking than you would with appropriate 'road' pads. They'll probably be awful when cold. If it were me, I'd switch 'em.

red stuff just arent a good pad for street driving. they are a comp pad. they need heat to opperate at the maximum level, something that cant be done well with street driving
just look for a different pad
