EBC Brakes and Rotors

Anyone using them? What are your thoughts, especially on the rear disks.

Thanks

I installed EBC's Greenstuff pads on my 03 and immediately noticed a vast improvement in stopping power. I also installed EBC Greenstuff pads and blank rotors on my 01.5 two years ago and find that dust is a non issue. Any dust that does accumulate on the wheels washes right off. I have been very pleased with their overall performance, especially while towing.

I put greenstuff all around on the stock rotors and e braking was great but the fronts fell apart and over heated my rotors. I am thinking that the stock rotors cannot handle the added friction heat from these pads. I replaced the EBCs with Napa pads until my rotors are gone then I will do EBC rotors and pads at that time.
FWIW.

I did EBC GreenStuff Pads, and EBC OEM-Style rotors.
Excellent improvement wiht stopping while towing my fiver.
Minimal dust only in the beginning.

HOWEVER,

I should have gone with the slotted rotors.
At least to me...the rotors seem to be running a little hotter than I like.
