Blues are the EBC endro pads / meant for heavier cars (like the Evo). From talking with EBC, they said that the both will work great on the Evo. Blues should last longer. From that, they might have a little less bite but gain in life and temp range.

I'm interested in hearing what you find from driving on the Blues - Bassicfun.

Will update and share impressions as able when the blue stuff's go on.

Your understanding on the blues vs. yellows is similar to my understanding... blues = best overall every day/enduro pad for the evo, yellow's likely to be harder on rotors, and more 'bite'... but without the lifespan of the blues.

Well it sounds like the blues are a better DD/autox pad & the yellows will be a better track pad...well like i said before definitely looking forward to your testing bassicfun...

Other way around

Yellows better for AX and track. Blues for track (maybe AX) and might last longer.

Still running factory rotors and lines. The car seems to bite a bit more, you can just feel they are working better. no track use yet

1 Liter of ATE is more than enough for a full flush... I bought 2 L and didn't upen the 2nd liter, now just to get 2 liters of ATE gold/bronze, and I'm ready for future flushes!
