yup. I haven't found INDEPENDENT sources (and not just ppl repeating what they hear)...
to confirm that ATE (blue or otherwise) TRUELY causes ANY problem at all. If I was a marketing guy, this is a very good strategy... on competitor's better value product line! ;o)

hm don't know instructor drove hell out of my car
right after my session and they held up fine in back to back sessions...
yellowstuff can take very high temps since it it a race grade pad(offical pad of several euro competition series)..fluid will go well before these pads do..
Ultra High Friction Pads for Race, Trackday and Street Use.
EBC Yellowstuff is an aramid fibre based brake compound with high brake effect form cold and is possibly one of the first ever compounds that can be used for STREET AND TRACK DRIVING. These pads do not require warm up but do get even stronger under the heat of hard driving. These are not a low dust pad and if your desire is for a low dust premium street use pad, you should consider EBC Redstuff. EBC Yellowstuff is currently produced in two compound versions - DM1846 and DM1793, both of which have been used with some success in racing. HOWEVER, for standard OEM brakes, as fitted to your car, there is no doubt that the DM1793 is getting better feedback, as it is slightly harder, slightly longer lasting and more appropriate for track day driving.
When considering full race use, DM1793 has also been a strong favourite, having been used for two years in the Swedish Camaro Cup and at numerous other race events where a stock caliper system is fitted. If using a high efficiency aftermarket race calipers with 4, 6 or 8 piston set ups, the sheer efficiency might allow the use of 1846 compound. DM1846 is currently the choice of the majority of GT3 drivers which are pretty serious competitors.
If you have any doubts about which compound to choose for your street and track combination pad, go for the 1793.

Don't know enough about them to say one way or the other. But as Adam said...
your brakes will seem great at your first event or 2 but will seem inadequate as you improve. I had this same feeling with Hawk HPS pads on my S4. I went from "Man these brakes are great!" to "Man I need to get a BBK!" pretty quick.
