Yellow, Red, Green STUFF ETC Brake Pads

[mazdatenfive]

I have looked at brake pads to replace mine which are wearing out but I am confused.
There are so many variants on the market ranging from $30 to many hundreds of dollars.
Is there any way of working out the type of pads you can purchase and the type of applications they should be used for.
I do know my NA8 takes DB1282 & DB1283 pads.

Any input would be handy.

MXV, if you haven't already seen the following recent thread, which also contains a link to another brake pad thread, then it's well worth a read as it covers a range of views & reasons:

Im using the EBC redstuff pads good for the track takes a little while to warm up first but after that it bites really well.
