BRAKE PROJECT: Aftermarket EBC disc rotors (Slotted drilled) and pads

[BlueSteeleHorse07]

In the process of changing my disc rotors and pads and instead of going for the OE I'm looking into the aftermarket products, has anyone use the EBC brand, if you have, what are your take on this brand. Any recommendations of any other brands.

Several people on here have EBC pads and report good things. Not sure about the rotors.

I have the EBC pads.

EBC Yellow is a great upgrade.......... Works great even from cold but gets better when they get hotter.

The only downside is they give off more dust.

Make sure you bed them in properly. They will be noisy for the first couple of days till they bed in.

rotors are rotors. I've installed high dollar DBA rotors to cheap ebay rotors and honestly there was no difference in performance. Unless you were track racing or something similar driving around the streets you'll never notice. For drilled rotors you want to make sure the holes are chamfered around the edges so they have a less chance of cracking. Slots should be beveled to cut down on the "clicking" noise. I would personally stay away from slotted and the majority of them will click when the pads hit the slots. There's a company on Ebay called Hansell Automotive where I plan on buying a set for my truck and the wifes Sky Redline. They're cheap and actually slightly thicker than oem.
