I've had great luck with the Yellowstuff performance wise but they do dust more than the Redstuff and EBC's website will confirm this. I had problem with Redstuff on my 911, the pads overheated easily and deposited pad material on the rotors and gave an unbalanced warped type of feeling. The Yellowstuff is a higher temp pad compared to the Redstuff. Yellowstuff is only about $10 more than the Redstuff.

I did a search a while back to see what brake pads people have had success with to reduce brake dust on the Cayenne.
I didn't find much, so I did some digging and ended up with Hawk ceramic pads. Installation was typical Porsche simple - not race car simple like the 993, but pretty darn easy, nonetheless.
The results are impressive. I only changed the front pads, to see if they actually produced less dust, as advertised and now the stock rear pads produce far more nastiness than the fronts.
I've used EBC Green on motorcycles and smaller cars with excellent results, but they didn't work for me in a 3-series BMW or anyhting heavier. In fact, they wore out faster than stock and produced a lot more dust. Strange.
Anyway, I can at least confirm that Hawk Ceramics perform as advertsied. In a few months I'll see about longevity (pads and rotors).
