New EBC pads and rotors all around!!

[FLSHO21]

What a huge difference!!!  This car finally has brakes like it should!!! I have the 13' master cyl and booster too top it off, and it stops on a dime now! Red stuff all around with the same rotors all around! Highly recommend.

Look great...man I need these too. I can handle the squishy pedal in normal driving, but at the track those high speed stops suck.

Brakes now working the way they SHOULD be.  Might start getting rearended by supercars though, so watch out!

Slotted and drilled... Sweet!

Nice! And no problems with stock wheels?

I think he is just using stock size replacement rotors and pads. And even with 14" rotors you only need 18" wheels

Looks like according to centric brakes that his fronts are 12.81" and rears are 12.99" So he could probably even run 17" wheels

So can I ask what the damage was for this? I am going to need brakes this spring and would love to do the upgrade.

if you shop around enough, i know i got my set for around $560-ish shipped. Mine are slotted only though.

Everything is stock size.  The pads were $100 per set, rear rotors were $250 and front were $375.  You can probably find better deals out there but I liked the look of these rotors.

Hey FLOSHO,

I believe your pic in the thread is the rear brake, correct?  If so, just a question regarding the rotor.  You and I having non-PP cars and 10-12 year, believe we have solid rotors stock.

Guessing there is no clearance issue with going to the vented rear rotors and still using stock calipers? 

 

[FLSHO21]

Yes, the picture is of the rear.  I couldnt say for sure if the calipers would clear vented rear rotors, or if the caliper bracket would clear, looks like it would be tight for the bracket.  I stayed with the factory solid rear rotor.

 

[SHOw-Me State]

My bad!!  Looking the pic closer, I mistakenly thought the inboard dust shield was part of your rotor--thus thinking it was the vented rotor you had.  Thanks for your post clearing it up for me!

FLOSHO, can you elaborate on your 13+ booster and Master cylinder? I am going to make the swap in my 2010 this spring. Did you make a post about that anywhere? Should I PM you for more info?

 

[FLSHO21]

There is a writeup in the "how to" section on this forum I believe for the 13' swap.  Its really not too difficult at all, the hardest part is bending the line into the master cyl just right and installing the brake switch.

Do you have updated pictures?? I'd be curious to see how quickly that black rubs off the rotors. I just want to make sure it doesn't look like crap after you put them on and the zinc wears off.

 

[SHOnUup]

Here's one...they lose the black REAL fast...if a 100 miles

Thanks Rich!

How does the rest of it hold up from rust? I like that is blacked out where the stock ones rust... just curious.

 

[SHOnUup]

Only about 800 miles on that pic. Look great still. What an improvement in braking though. Night and day difference. Stopping distance cut in half I'd say. You can stop on a dime with these. The pedal no longer travels to the floor when stopped either. Highly recommend these.

I have about 500mi on my EBC Stage 4 kits (front and rear) slotted rotors and Red Stuff pads - so far so damn good!!! Much better than stock me likey!!!!
