Ebc rotors and pads

Anyone with EBC black ultimax rotors with ebc green stuff pads, any thoughts on this combo?
I have rotora rotors and ebc green stuff for over two years and now is the time to put new setup since my breaking is getting weaker.

do you need new rotors already? are they vibrating or pulsing?
EBC pads are fine,

have you flushed the brake fluid? that needs to be done once a year- it will return strong pedal in many cases

I recently put on the Ultimax rotors and Ultimax pads. I am very impressed with the combo so far, although before this I only was rollin on brembo blanks and akebono pro acts, and the blanks warped pretty quickly, so anything is an upgrade over that.

im running EBC dimpled and slotted with red stuff pads. love them, low dust and great stopping power. green stuff will dust more because its not ceramic based.

wash your rims and wax with synthetic car wax- cuts way down on the brake dust

I did the brake fluid flash and seems to work much better, do you think putting ss brake lines would be good idea?

SS brake lines are a great investment of 100 bucks IF you drive it hard- have fun with the car on backroads where repeated braking occurs.

The big thing is SS lines dont expand or flex under pressure- which rubber does especially when hot,,reducing pressure in the line to the caliper = less force applied to caliper==loss of braking
That causes loss of FEEL in the pedal
SS lines feel the same all the time-solid braking, I love mine with upgraded brakes and calipers

x2 on the EBC D/S and redstuff pads. They're great and work well with SS brake lines.
