I used the reds at last year's RFR track day. I also left them in the car after the track day. They held up really well at the track day, no problems at all. I also had steel braided lines and fresh fluid.
On the street, they were noisy, but not really very dusty. The track day was at the end of august, and I drove them on the street for the next 6 weeks. They were a little wooden feeling first thing in the morning, but not too bad ... I didn't really know why everyone was saying that you shouldn't run them on the street ... until mid october last year when it snowed for the first time. The temperature suddenly dropped, and I had NO brakes when the car was cold! It was scary, I actually ran a few stop signs before I got a chance to swap pads. No matter how hard I pushed on the pedal, I couldn't get the brakes to do anything unless I dragged them for a mile to heat them up.
I would say definately consider the reds for a track day, but you are asking for trouble using them on the street.
