    Anybody else ever had any issues with little rocks getting stuck in the drilled holes and making noise?

    Maybe I should just go with slotted? Recommendations?

    Running the ebc stage 5 kit myself.

    Got them from Marco at 4wp Chula Vista

    No pulsing, light dusting, very minimal wind noise.

    Nice bite

    If you can lock your brakes/engage ABS on the stock brakes, you don't need to upgrade your brakes unless you are towing and are regularly facing brake fade.

    That being said, most drilled rotors on the market have been drilled after the rotors were made, and those spots are weaker now because of the drilling.

    If you want to change how your brakes feel, stainless lines and/or different pad compound are going to get you what you want.

    Stainless lines here, and abs killswitch..............

    Hawks and brembos were well within spec.

    However the ebc combo listed above made stopping much safer.
