seriously, from what I heard from dave and read on the web, redstuff will be the min that i would accept.
Red stuff used to have squeeking noise when cold, but they claimed they solved this problem.

Are you talking about this mate?
http://www.ebcbrakes.com/redstuffinfo.html
"This material is a Kevlar? fibre based brake compound enhanced with ceramic particles. If you have previously tried EBC redstuff (pre-ceramic compound) this material is light years ahead. It lasts longer, it brakes better and is quieter. "

DSC on = Light off
DSC off = Light on
I mean this, didnt I?
What am meaning here is even a 300bhp monster like the 335, with the DSC on (Light off), your traction should intervented by the DSC immediately when it noticed a spin.
So if you say your car moved to the other lane, that sounds abnormal to me if you had the DSC on (Light off)

yeah, the only conservation I have is that i read some complaints from people who use them on track but believe that was using the old material. need to find out a bit more feedback n the kelvar material.

it looks much better than our green stuff but can it work at a cold start? it dose not say.
I have email ebc and will let you guys know.

Again with this:
"they brake like an alligator right from cold (as good as Original pads or better) and just get better as they heat up."
And look at the cold friction chat:
