I hate EBC brake pads. Have a grabbing feel to them that just isn't smooth. Get OE replacement brembo rotors and somes nice pads. There is some store on jefferson near harpersvillle road intersection. They sell some killer pads there. They are like 50 a set.

axxis ultimate pads...
If you are willing to spend the money, ferodo ds 2500s will make you really happy..
also rembember, whatever you do get, you need to bed the pads in for them to work best.

that may be true, however it is not due to your drilled/slotted rotors...

Re: Brake upgrade?

your right. it may be with pads. but the cross drill and/or slots help to disapate heat better therefore stopping power is greater
