Default ebc brake combo

I was wondering if the ebc dimpled and slotted rotors are good. Was wondering if anyone had used these rotors and what was the verdict. the rotors are the three slot version i will be using them for street/autox/and maybe track day I already purchse these rotors "dumb" and ebc red stuff pads for the front of my eg cause im installing my gsr brake upgrade i shoulda got feedback first but o well i guess to late .... thanxs guys

ps it seams that this forumn has adults in it and not a bunch of kids like the other ones thanks for the support and knowledge its helping me a great deal

The rotors are probably fine, but they really don't do any thing performance, or longevity wise.

As for the pads, IMO, EBC stuff is complete junk. I would see if you can return them and get something else. Something like a Hawk HP or Hawk HP+

In my experience the reds are suitable for daily driving, or maybe autox, but they are no better than a Nissin ceramic pad or other street brake pad. The yellow R compound pads held up well for me at the track; and you can drive them on the street. I'll probably buy another set when I get new brakes.

I just finished a track day today with my buddy at Nashville Superspeedway. He is running EBC Yellow front and rear with cryo tech rotors front and rear on his S2000 (just installed) pretty stock car just minor bolt on. He uses hankook slick c50 compound i beleave, ran 7 20-30 minutes stint all day never had any brake issues at all. It never faded. No brake ducts on it either. From what I understand all the EBC stuff has new formula and are better than the old stuff they.
