Pics EBC sport rotors and Greenstuff pads

***06NaviEX*** · 03-12-2007, 08:34 PM

I put these on about a week ago. I really like the stopping power over the stock setup. The pads are very quiet. My only complaint is the "helicopter" sound that I get from the rotor slots/dimples. It is getting better over the last week. It's not loud, and I can only hear it when the windows are down and I'm driving next to a curb or under a bridge, etc.

The increased stopping power makes up for the noise.

They still haven't fully bedded in yet. I'm guessing I'm about 1/2 way there from the way they look and feel.

Edit: The white powder on the rotors is from the wheel cleaner I used to clean these up for the pics

Yea, the sound is normal, but you get used to it after awhile. Kinda like putting a card in your bike spokes..........

Around $260 shipped. Pads were about $70 shipped for both sets.

Well worth it in my opinion. Much better bite and stopping power.
