really, mine have 24k on them and are still very strong. Don't GS430s have bigger brakes than GS400s?
How about EBC green?

Also, do slotted or drilled rotors wear pads quicker due to the "cheese grater" effect?

I ordered 4 dimpled/slotted premium(not the cheap ebay specials) today with axxis metal master brake pads so they will be on within 2 weeks.
I can't wait to here from bitkahuna's experience as well.
