I have been fan of EBC yellow, but did just have a problem

I was experiencing soft pedal, even when cold. The pads were pretty new, just 1 weekend on them.

Flushed the system 3 times, so I was pretty sure there was no air in the system. The pedal was still soft.

I swapped in some factory pads and the pedal was rock hard. Put the yellows back in and soft pedal. The pads while still having over 75% life left were cooked and rock hard

Per the suggestion from my mechanic, I got some Hawk DTC-60's. Put them in, rock hard pedal.

Just came back from a track weekend with my son also driving and the DTC-60's were spectacular. I'm not gonna use the EBC Yellow anymore

YMMV
