Did you use the paste on the back of the pads? Are you using the anti sqeal shims? If yes to these, you might try filing the leading edge of the pad although if memory serves, I beleive they are alteady bevelled?
I found reds to be quiet and very clean although they are not made for tracking, no matter what EBC might say. Major judder problem when they get hot! But, for the street, they are just fine.
