EBC Red Stuff came up in a few searches but some people saying that the initial bite is not as good when cold.

I need better stopping power and less brake dust..

The EBC red is very hard pad and generally not for street use, and the are tough on rotors. I have used ceramic pads on my cars in the past. I have no issues with it. They are all pretty much the same regardless of brands.
