    Probably going to pull the trigger on some EBC green pads this weekend. Can't decide between EBC rotors or Power Stop.. Suggestions? And yes, I've used the search but couldn't really find a definite answer.

    Thanks

    Anything is better then what I got now. If I have to hit the brakes hard at all, they stick to the rotor after I already have my foot off the pedal and on the gas. Doesn't slow me down but I can hear that the rotor is warped because the pad is barely still pressed against it. Plan to bleed the brakes this weekend to see if that helps with them sticking. If not rotors and pads, then if nothing still I guess calipers :bananadead:

    I will probably go with the EBC rotors. It may just be a seized caliper. I plan to do some investigating tomorrow. If it isn't pouring rain :cool:

    Smokin with a smarty.

    The diff skid is a few weeks off or so since I didn't like the mounting system and am going a new direction. Waiting on parts and such now.


    I will probably start a group buy tomorrow when I get the holes drilled and it is mounted. Otherwise everything fit as expected and it is good to go.


    Group buy pricing will be the best discount I can offer.
