Rotora & EBC greenstuff installed...
...and all I can say is WOW! I should have done this 5000 miles ago. Not only does it stop smooth and straight, hiway speeds are smoother as well (the rotors must have been bad enough to cause a slight vibration at speed).
Thank you for everyone's recommendation on this combo.

peace.

The pads came from www.tirerack.com for $79.00 shipped.
Modacar was the cheapest place I found. Both shipped the day I called (before noon), and the products arrived 4 business days later.

We prefer 'Slotted Rotors' Why?
A few different reasons:
1) Many companies who produce aftermarket performance rotors may not use the best 'blanks' to start with. They do this because it allows them to make the rotors at a lower cost and sell them to you for less than other competitors- or, this way, they can compete with the larger manufacturers. Now, if you have a somewhat sub-standard rotor- and then you 'cross-drill' it - What do you think you're doing? Well, you're compromising the integrity of the rotor by drilling completely through the surface- and then it heats up- and if it isn't a quality blank- made from quality steel and alloy- What do you think happens then? Well, more likely than not- it will crack.
Remember, we're not saying ALL 'Cross Drilled' rotors are bad.
2) Cross-Drilling (in most instances) removes more braking surface area than slotting does.
3) A brake rotor is designed to do one thing: Convert kinetic (moving) energy to thermal energy (heat). What handles more heat- A cast-iron kettle or a pizza pan with holes in it?
4) Can you think of any professional race teams who still use cross-drilled rotors?"
