Does anyone know if the EBC Sport Grooved Rotors on tirerack are any good (worth the money)? If not, any suggestions on some better-than-stock rotors for the front of a 98 SE?

Don't waste your money on slotted or cross drilled rotors, they will not help braking performance. If you want better results spend the extra money on pads. As far as a suggestion for better rotors go, I'd just say get the ones from Stazi.

I wonder if EBC makes 13" rotors that will fit our cars

Does anyone have the part numbers of the front and rear pads offered in Stazi's group buy? As well as the brand/part numbers of the rotors? The customs/"brokerage" fees are just toooo much  .... Bridge

I had a set of EBC's, flat faced - no drilling or slotting, and they warped on me in less than a year (<15,000 miles) on my E0. I was not very impressed with the durability of them. Hopefully the autospecialty ones are better...

Well, I just installed mine Friday. Only just beginning to break in, but I sure hope I have better luck.

I can tell you that you are not going to beat his price on the rotors. (SVT especially!  )
I am still amazed at the quality of the front rotors. 5 times better than I expected and light years better than the stock POS's.
The Titanium pads you can find cheaper though.
As for the part numbers. They have been posted in this forum several times. The last time was likely only a week ago. Try Searching yourself!!!

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
