Renxo - I have driven on the blue stuffs last fall, all winter long (Ohio snow FTL) as well as into this spring so far. I have run autoX events, and Mid Ohio is in my backyard basically. I am so far fairly happy with them, but have reserved a full report until I run a fair amount of events, then will write a review vs. the yellow stuffs.
Cliff notes: VERY streetable.

Yeah, I really like the Bluestuff
I'd like to add a big thumbs up for the bluestuff for track AND street use. I've suffered from a lack of confidence in my pads on the track for several years (Hawk HPS, HP+) and noisey, rotor chewing on the street (above plus Hawk blue). I thought the Racing Brake 800s were going to do it, but I wore a set of new ones down to the metal in two and a half 30 minute sessions at Barber. No doubt I'm very hard on brakes; I probably over-slow the car. But, the EBC Bluestuff performed very well in recent weekends at Rd Atlanta and Sebring. I was comfortable working them hard, even with a passenger in most sessions. Things got quite hot, as the rotors were heat checked after Rd Atl, but I had no fade the next week at Sebring. Seems to be plenty of pad left and rotors look OK. Another BIG PLUS is that Perfect Brakes (online) gave me a free set of rear pads with the purchase of fronts, and the fronts were priced lower than other options I looked at. (This offer is for NASA and SCCA racers and HPDEs; click the link for NASA/SCCA, and enter your member or racer number.) I've been using them on the street for about a month since being on track, and they make zero noise and perform just fine (maybe require more pedal pressure).
