I was looking at these and was wondering if anyone has experiance or has these on. I was also going to buy rotors with them. I hear they cut down on brake dust. And just that would be a plus. Thanks for the input.

I have them (and the grooved rotors) on the front of my car. There is less dust than the stock pads (about half of what I had with the stock pads). The braking is much improved over stock (noticeably less pedal pressure to achieve similar stopping distances).

So far, I'm still happy with them after about two months. Now I just need to buy some new rear rotors so that I can install the rear set laugh !

I bought them from Tirerack.com. The grooved rotors are only available for the front for non-SVT cars.

I had them, stopped really well until they warped my x drilled & grooved discs mad I spoke to a break dealer who said EBC work well but they run too hot. EBC know about this but will not say in public. Consequently the additional heat warps the disc. Mine were crazed like mad, both sides.

Anyway, I changed the discs and went for another make of pads. Not suck impressive breaking but at least my discs are still true! Be warned about EBC pads.
