No disrespect to the the person speaking of EBC brakes. HOWEVER if you turn your rotors and put EBC Yellow on your stock disks you MIGHT get 3000 miles before your disks are WARPED BAD. How do I know this.... DID IT!

You will need new rotors if you do EBC yellow.

I did the HAWK brake pads and DID NOT turn my rotors and there was a significant increase in brake performance. I know the Green 7000 pads EBC would probably perform as well as the Hawk.

FYI do not turn your rotors unless they are already have a warped rotor or have major gashes.

If you do rotors I like the EBC kits, Rebel Offroad has a great kit, THose 2 you cannot go wrong with rotors.

ENJOY

i am going with the EBC rotors - slotted and dimpled. Decided i did not want full drilled through (not sure if it will make a difference with the remote chance of cracking??) but i also see a few people like the Power Slot ones

If you're going to buy rotors, it would seem that you're partway to the Teraflex big brake kit,

was thinking of that, but $650 CDN to just do the front is too steep for me and sounds like they are still testing..
