I still have not put these brakes on because I was hopeing for better weather to take photos for the how to section plus they are fine if Im not using them alot like on a curvy road or a long down hill, so I'll wait until my pads are gone or the front of the car bounces off the ground when stopping. I will let you all know the second I put them on, sorry for the delay.

The reason I was asking is because I am about to drop $200 for the EBC rotors and wanted to see how they worked out on your car before purchasing. Thanks for the update...

See posts #12 & #13.

Completely missed those posts Thanks.

How many miles have you accumulated since installing the EBC rotors? Any signs of trouble?

Almost 10K for me and no trouble yet. My OEM rotors were warped within the same amount of time I've had the EBCs on.

Did you install new pads or use the oem parts?

I also went with the red stuff pads. Does the rear of the car come off the ground when you stop really hard

Are Reds what you ran on the stock rotor too or did you find the need for both pads and rotors at the same time?

Nah. When I had stock rotors I had stock pads. I switched both the pads and rotors at the same time. They both needed it.
