Rotora vs. EBC?
Hey all. I am looking at purchasing new brakes for my NBP 06 TL. I am stuck between two setups and was hoping for alittle insight on the quality of the products. For now I am keeping the stock calipers, but I am changing out the rotors, pads, and getting SS brake lines. The two setups I am looking at are the following:
From XLR8 Performance:
Rotora slotted & drilled rotors F&R (silver w/black anodized center)
Rotora ceramic pads F&R
XLR8 SS brake lines
approx. price $700 shipped
From PepBoys:
EBC slotted & dimpled rotors F&R (gold zinc coated)
EBC Redstuff ceramic pads F&R
(would also get XLR8 SS lines w/this setup)
approx. price $600
I invite anyone who has had experience with these products to let me know how they felt performance wise and also if you can let me know how the dust levels were I would appreciate it.

I bought the same kit from Excelerate, the rotors cross drill/sloted, the Rotora ceramic pads, some ss lines and some hi boiling point brake fluid ( I went with 640 degree Willwood stuff but Motul is offered by Excelerate and is very good fluid).
The EBC rotors are cheaper material and dimpled where as the Rotora is actualy drill thru and made of better steel. The Rotora's, lines and pads should be closer to $500 unless you are shipping to the middle of the rain forest. The prices can't have changed that much in 5 months and he shipped them across the country to Cali. I can send you a pic of my set up it looks and performs very nice.

Even though are cars are different(I4 Accord coupe) I would think the reviews would be similar. I had EBC Ultimaxx rotors for the last 11mos and 7K miles and they've warped already! I just purchased some Rotora slotted's and they'll be put on tomorrow as a matter of fact. So we'll see... Oh and the EBC's were paired with green stuff pads, the Rotora's will be paired with Hawk pads.

Hi speed, if you want to PM me a pic of your setup or post it here I would like to see how it looks as most of the pics on site are BBKs which I just can't afford right now.

Thanks for the info guys. I went ahead and purchased the Rotora setup from XLR8 along with some Motul fluid. hopefully they come in before the weekend as I have nothing scheduled for this weekend and actually have time to do some car work. Hell, maybe I'll follow it up with a clay bar treatment.
