Anyone using these? Have you encountered issues with brake fade at all!?

plenty of people are happy on greens
fade comes from lack of heat dispersion in repeated hard use,,
so rotors come into play as well as your driving style

for some hardcore street racer brakes look at racingbrake.com et500 series pads

Ok I will thanks. Just out of curiosity, would some kind of fabbed up brake ducts make any kind of significant difference?

sure, any cooling airflow will help- look at nascar with 3 ducts to the rf brake!

but the main part is from heat removal- a factor of the center vents in rotor

driving style= letting the brakes cool for 10-15 seconds between full use will let them cool and avoid fade

SS brake lines improve pedal feel when brakes get hot, and new fluid-brake fluid flush, always improves feel and action of the brakes

For this reason I went for the red ceramic pads. Its all a bunch of horsesh*t that they don't perform well until they heat up. I found them to be just as good as stock when cold, and so much better after they heat up. There's no brake fade, which is essential for spirited driving and those hot summer days..

I changed them like 3 yrs ago, and they're still running strong

I used to have EBC Green Stuff and they had a pretty good bite.

BUT, these pads BLOW when it comes to wear...

Mine were down to the metal after 10k miles!

They suck, and I will never waste my money on them again.

Get some Rotora Ceramic pads.
