Seems a totally pointless option then, the reds are way to hard for the type of driving in an SVX!
I tried reds on my evo and even when I was out playing they never really got to an optimum temp so in town and 80% of the time they were crap and they were nosey! I went back to greens and were more than happy.

I have greens on my SVX front and rear and never had a pad problem, just the brakes were an after thought & not upto th weightof the car it seems!

Reds were originally a track day and motorsport pad.

Darren, maybe you should switch to Axxis. I put Axxis ultimates in my front calipers, and WOW, what a difference. The braking is dramatically improved, both cold and hot. The ONLY downside to this pad is that it dusts. A LOT. I mean a LOT OF DUST. But they're quiet, and they perform amazingly well. I have metal masters in back, but I don't think the rear brakes really matter much at all anyway.
