Default EBC Brakes

Who's running EBC Brakes? Should I go Red Stuff or Yellow Stuff. I've used yellow stuff before on a previous car. And what rotors to use?

You tracking the car? If so yellow and the slotted/drilled. If not green and stock replacement rotors they have or if you want grab other stock replacement rotors.

Hey, I'm currently running the EBC Red stuff brake pads. The brake dust is absolutely horrible. (more dust than the oem brake pads). They aren't too bad performance wise and are pretty quiet. However, the initial bite is not as strong as the oem brake pads and attracts more dust. If you're looking for low dust brake pads with pretty decent braking power, hands down Akebono brake pads (attracts very little dust). If you're looking for performance brake pads and dust is not an issue, stick with oem or upgrade for Yellow stuff brake pads because Red Stuff are definitely not low dust pads. (more like...maximum dust pads... lol)
I haven't tried any aftermarket brake rotors yet but, I heard you can't go wrong with StopTech, Centric, RR Racing, R1 Concept brake rotors.

Just ordered the BSD rotors and yellow stuff pads. I use to run StopTech rotors with yellow stuff. Not a bad combo. Definitely would recommend a light car with that setup though
