Yes they did
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:

hmm, it would be better if they provide more data rather just rankings. one thing I have to find out is whether the pads will fade under heavy brakings. the fact that it suggest no for racing seems to suggest that they will fade and wear out quickly. also i really dont like soft pedal feel, this will be a big no no for me.

EBC also has the yellowstuff designed for race use, but they are not very good at cold braking, so i think redstuff is pretty much perfect for us.
Maybe redstuff plus ss brake line will satisfy you KC, ss brake line will give you a better feel of the brake and prevent overheating under continously braking
pinguhk, as what i can remember, the old redstuff start working efficiently at about 50'c, not sure the new one though

EBC recommends 545i use the yellowstuff, so mikehk, if you wanna upgrade urs, get the yellowstuff
So it can be summaries as follow:
greenstuff < 200bhp
redstuff >200bhp
yellowstuff >300bhp

Here it is.
Its about the redstuff temperature (Although it didnt say start working with 50'c)
The old one has only 0.33 friction level, the new one has 0.5

As what i can remember, lotus exige is using redstuff as standard
