Not tried the Red Spec but I bought new disc pads from them and not had a problem with the backing getting separated. I think there was a bad batch and its all sorted now.

I put in a pair on the back on my Juicy 3s just before doing the Mega in July - just replacing them now though there's still a little bit of wear left in them.

I'm getting a set of kevlars to try them out, I've heard mixed reviews about their lifespan, so I think it depends on the conditions you ride in. I get the impression wet, gritty stuff will grind them down pretty quickly.
