Braking is outstanding, and very little dust is created as a result of solid braking. If I were you, go for them...BTW it's EBC, not EBS...

later.

I just installed them on my car a week ago and have been very pleased! I haven't noticed much (if any) dust and they haven't made a sound.

Thanks.

Sorry, another question...

I was planning to resurface my stock rotors. Do you think I should do it or should I just buy new ones (still not sure what brand...)

Buy new ones! Aftermarket rotors are even cheaper than going OEM and the quality is much better! Once it's time to resurface your rotors - you know new ones aren't too far down the line anyway! You should only really machine them once to be on the safe side. Anyway, the thinner they get - the less safe they are and soon enough - they will warp. If you can afford it and it's time -- you might as well buy new rotors and new pads at the same time.

i have had the ebc's on the tl and they are the best. im switching back to them. they are the lowest dusting pad out there. i would recomend new rotors. i have the irotors and have around 25k miles on them and they are in great shape yet. others like the rotora brand.

Don't have the Greenstuff, but I've read alot of posts and they seem to produce alot of squeeking for quite a few members. Moreso than other brands.
