No, I am getting ready but not quite using  the C-TECH  pads Tom at ECS
recommends, and at this point it is solely on his recommendation, 4 days to
install and counting. He says it cures all the problems with the reds and all
his customers seem to really like these- the mention of the pads was not a
bessing for one brand over any other, just a blast on the soft red-boxes and
the need to get pads that dont melt when you slow down from 140( excuse me if
I have misquoted you Tom, but that was my recollection).
