If you intend to run street type tires Dot 140 or higher I'd say try the EBC Red they hold pretty good and are a good match for that grade tires. If you run Dot 100 to 60 Use the EBC Yellow. Also a fair match for the capability of the tires. If you start to use Dot 40 or R compound tires look at the Pagid RS-29 yellows.

Of course the price increases in each grade, but I'd try to match the tires and the brakes. Pretty much what I found is the tires in those groupings start to feel greasey before the brakes I suggested. The EBC Yellows will work OK with Dot 40 and R tires but they won't wear well. I get twice the track time from the Pagid on near slicks.

Good luck enjoy it's a fun track day car.
