What non S brakes do you have

Seems like the EBC marketing department did a good job.

But you can't outwit physics.

I've been happy with my EBC reds and my son has yellows on his Miata. Recently we went to a safety seminar by a certain vendor and they slammed EBC, they said never buy a brake pad that advertises on TV. They recommended a different pad that they sell they had some stats and friction coefficients that seemed to back it up. But my experience contradicted what they said about EBC and I'm sticking with them and maybe moving to yellow now that I am mostly doing track.

I forget the brand they recommend, possibly PFC, which I have heard very good things about, but not (as) suitable for dual use.

Ebc seems to be the winner for pads. I've got my eye on Zimmerman rotors, drilled and slotted rotors look cool but I gather they aren't any better. If anything slotted will give more bite however I think that might be over kill for my daily driver.

The pads have a Lot of meat left, I hate to just toss them. Doesn't make much sense to use old pads on new rotors, but we use new pads on old rotors all the time right? I found rotors on eBay for under $100 for all 4. Those must be good lol

Actually the inexpensive rotors will probably be fine.

Look at Meyle rotors on eBay. You can find a pair for an axle for around $75-$85. Probably about 1/2 the cost of 1 Zimmerman

If you have cracks in the rotors, you need to replace them ASAP
