Just wondering what everyone is running for pads (like guys trapping 130+) im on a kens customs BB delete kit and his 3/4 master and im only running front brakes so i need some good ones and since where on the subject what about rotors ? thanks guys
We run EBC red stuff w/ cx small calipers on 10.4" ex/integra slotted rotors. No booster and no rear. Car traps 170mph and have never thrown the chute. Works good, but might switch to green stuff later.

im on vx stuff which i thinks the same stuff and how do you get the 10.6 rotors on? change spindles ? and what brand on the rotors? i also read somewhere that the ebc greens are not for racing ture?
I'm running EBC yellow stuff pads on drilled DA 10.2 rotors and calipers. No rear breaks on the pedal, no issues from 165. Wanting to ge rid of the booster soon

92-95 ex rotors and the same as the da's but does anyone know the size on the stock vx's and will the ex/da ones work with my spindles ? thanks for the replays
We run the EK EX knuckles and EX rotors (10.4"). That is the smallest oem rotor that fits over the DSS hubs. Calipers are the small CX ones with CX pads. They bolt right on, but we have spacers to better center the caliper brackets on the rotors. I went with the small calipers because they have a smaller piston which requires less fluid to move. This gives the mechanical advantage back to the master cylinder/brake pedal and helps when you don't have a booster. The rotors are Power Slot (i think).

Baby sized solid rotors here with Wilwood single piston Dynalites and crappy Wilwood pads. Car stops fine from 160, but I'd like some better pads to stop from 170+ traps, if I ever get there, lol.
I have my brake booster line removed(manual brakes), Stock calipers, auto part store pads and all original lines. The car stops at 135-138 fairly easy.
