I'm in the same boat---at least with regard to front brakes. Pads definitely long in the tooth, and rotors (which I assume are original) have a lip that's gotta be 1 mm, probably more, on each side. Time to do 'em both.

Leaning strongly towards the Zimmerman cross-drilled rotors with the EBC Redstuff pads, but stumbled on this at (of all places) Rock Auto:

Anybody have any experience with these? They look pretty nice and at a reasonable price. A local Search here for Evolution brake supplies came up empty.

If I go with the Zimmerman rotors, anybody have experience with both the EBC Redstuff pads and the perhaps more popular Akebono pads? Any reason to pick one over the other? The other thing I wondered about was this: I read a few posts where people mentioned a different "feel" to the ceramic pad vs the more "dusty" pads. Any opinions on that?
