..............Yes, EBC red stuff is mostly for track use. It works best when hot and it has low wet traction. My opinion will be that it is probably not a good pad for daily driving in a CLK350.

the Red Stuff pads are primarily for track use...If it's possible, exchange them for the EBC Green Stuff pads...better for everyday use. I had a set on my BMW and it worked great!! also very low dust...

a quarter mile at a time
I just got RedStuff put on my car. They perform well for me but overall it stays very warm here in Phoenix compared to NYC/NJ, so I don't know how they will do in very cold temps.

The pads should have a place to put sensors in. I picked up a sensor from the dealership for $5 and had no issues. I did recieve 2 sensors with the pads but they were the wrong type.
