I find that the squeel a little from cold but no where near as bad as the mintex i used to have on my old clio, they were dreadful all of the time.
One problem i have found with the EBC pads is the anti dust feature, yeah its great with silver wheels as but on the dark wheels it leaves a white dust as opposed to a black dust. So the term reduced dust leaves a bit to be desired. LOL.
You will find a lot of people talk about ferodo, mintex, EBC at the end of the day its each to their own, I have used Mintex and didnt like them, On the other hand if I where to take the car to track days, i would probably go for a different fast road and track pad, rather than the RedStuff.
