Default EBC Rotor/Pad Experience ???

There have been posts in the past about front brakes but before I order new EBC rotors/pads I'd like to know if anyone can update us on how well they work compared to stock. Did you install the Yellowstuff or Greenstuff pads ?
I've been reading about Stainless Steel Brakes(which doesn't make anything for our trucks). They recommend slotted but not drilled rotors. They say most rotors are made in China now and drilling weakens them making them more prone to cracking.

That may be true, I personally would not hesitate to buy cross-drilled rotors, I installed some cross-drilled slotted rotors from Napa on my Integra GSR I had and the performance of them was excellent. I beat the **** out of the brakes on that car and I never had a problem with warping or cracking. As far as EBC goes I've never had them but I've heard nothing but good things about their rotors and pads. If I remember right the most regularly recommended pads on the Integra site I used to frequent were EBC and Hawk pads.

Hi rick4dak. I got EBC pads and Sport slotted rotors installed about two months ago at Meineke. The pads are the Supreme 7000 series ceramic pads. The rotors are drilled and slotted. This is a British outfit and British manufactured not Chinese crap.Very happy with them so will you. Best price was at www.buybrakes.com Go for it.
