My Ride: BMW E60 530i , Silver with leather Air Con iDrive 17" Breyton Rims with Dunlop Sp Sport tyres (M-Tech Bodykit and rims WANTED)
Alfa Romeo 147 TS1.6 , Black with Air Con 17" Multi Spoke alloys with Bridgestone RE040 tyres
Toyota MR-S 1.8 VVTI , Lagoon Blue with Red leather Air Con 15" standard alloys with Toyo tyres
Toyota Celica 1.8 VVTI, Lagoon Blue, Air Con, 16" Standard alloys with Kuhmo KU31, EBC Green Stuff
I had the new ceramic redstuff fitted on my 530 and i love it, huge improvement over the stock with half of dusts. 
Not sure the yellow stuff tho but i guess you are expecting to hear some minor squeaking at the low speed.
Have heard yellow stuff will not work 100% at the cold just like other high performance pads, but it wont be as bad as you think,
just dont brake to late when you turn into the corner when its cold

according to EBC, yellow stuff has better cold performance than red but more dust. when will you install the new pads? am deciding between red and yellow myself, would appreciate your feedback.
ps. dont forget to bed them in properly first.
