EBC yellow stuff. any one using?
i have hawk HPS now, i get lots of dust, and they don't hold the car at the line very well. and don't seem to brake well when cold
the main reason i would get these pads is for the "cold" performance. i need more holding power so i can stall the car up more when staged without rolling
any info would help, i searched but couldn't find any thread on the yellow pads

line lock won't even hold 1500 rpm because its only on the front brakes

According to your website you have a pretty loose converter. It should be allowing a lot of slippage at only 1500 RPM. I had a 10" converter that wasn't as loose as yours in my 70 and I had no probs holding it with cheap part store pads and the single piston calipers and tiny rotors that were used back then.
I would think that your brakes would have to be really messed to the point of where they can't stop your car well at all not to be able to hold with a loose converter at only 1500 RPM. So maybe your converter isn't slipping like it should.

I used to bring my 70 up to 3k w/a 10" converter and it would hold with brakes that were from the 70's (disk front/drum rear). I later changed it out to an 11" and it would try to creep when trying to "stall." To me it sounds like your converter isn't letting things slip like it should.
Also instead of changing pads for more holding strength, when was the last time you changed brake fluid?

Don't know what to tell you then.
Going to a more agressive pad probably won't help you on the line either. Most pads that are more agressive have less cold bite. In other words they need to heat up to get to maximum grippage. Thats a technical term there.

from there site
Although a full race material and capable of high temperature use with very good wear life, this new formulation sets a new trend in race type brake pad compounds that can be used on the highway. The “bite” from cold is superb which is uncommon with race materials (normally requiring warm-up) and makes this a pad which can be safely used on both street and track. This new formulation has been used by numerous championship race and rally drivers and is truly a milestone in brake pad material development. Nominal friction coefficient 0.5 with zero rotor damage and similar dust to original pads.
