Re: Brake pad rumor...?
ceramic is actually a softer material tham semi-met, so i dont think it will have any affect on the slotted/drilled rotor..... if ur more of a street racing type, u will have to go with semi met...........

Sweet!
I should have told you to check ebay. I got them for $90 shipped....
Oh well, you will like them.
Just make sure you break them in properly.

Re: Brake pad rumor...?
lol what does that even mean?!
EBC's greenstuff and redstuff pads are ceramic. I'm sure they wouldn't make a street rotor that's incompatible with their own street pads. The only reason I could think of not using a ceramic pad on a slotted rotor is because ceramics are more brittle, and therefore more likely to crack when the slot crosses over them.
But then again, a lot of OEMs use slottled/drilled rotors with ceramic pads.
You should be fine either way.
No. It means whatever the manufacturer says break in period means. There will usually be a break in procedure.
Some pads do not include a break in procedure. You usually drive them normal for the first few miles, then do a few hard stops. Then park the car with the E brake off for around 15 mins so they cool back off.
