installed EBC Slotted/dimpled rotors+EBC Green stuff

well installed em today, took like 2 hours or so, extra hour cause i painted the calipers blue, other than that, they look sweet cant test out the braking power yet, but its still solid compared to the oems. did the fronts only, this shop has a huge sale and didnt have rear pads or rotors, but yea i prob wont change it anytime soon since the oem has good meat left....
300 cdn for the set. woot

not a bad deal at all, just break those brakes in correctly, and they should be superb. Youll have to let us know how the EBC rotors work out for ya

well right now, im hearing noise, even driving, the pads touching the rotor, EBC says after 500 miles or so, and after 1000 it should be gone, and im gettin vibration too, but guessing thats all cause its fresh. but no im getting no noise during braking

So you don't hear noise when you're braking, but hear noise only when not braking.

well actually, today, im hearing noise now when braking, like when the brakes are about to go squeel. i just figured that its close to being bedded in, another 100 miles and im gonan start bedding. the noise when not braking sounds like the pad just rubbing against the rotor,.

this is the setup i want for my car. I dont have the rotors yet but i have green stuff up front and regular EBC in the back. mine would squeal from time to time. I can tell you they work great on high speed stopping. 140 to zero is great on stock rotors and no warp. So matched with the rotors should be superb. I haven't gotten the rotors yet because of other endeavors and i dont have time to install them right now but plan on it in the future. My hubs are starting to look rusty so another reason to mod somethings else:P. hope everything works out for you
