Ive found EBC slotted dimpled rotors. Anyone have an experience with them?

I used rotor pros, drilled and slotted, front and back, with ceramic pads for $240.00. I've put 8,000 miles on them with no problem. My oem rotors kept warping.

Dennis Reinhart used to be a vendor for them, they screwed him over along with customers of his. Ask him what happened.

A lot of the rotors warped pretty quickly and EBC told DR and his customers tough luck.

I bought a set of EBC rotors and green stuff pads (their entry street pads) damned if the pads were eating into the rotors like no tomorrow. I had them turned once after 10-11k miles and then they warped again 2k miles later. I tossed them and went back to all OEM and have been fine since then.

As a suggestion....I went with PowerSlot rotors and Hawk HPS pads and love them....granted i havent used them very much...but have had them since about September.

That will be my next step with brakes is PowerSlot cryo rotors with Hawk HPS pads.

maybe this is why i've had good luck with them. I used OEM pads with EBC rotors.

I was going to go with the Cryo untill I saw the price and that I had to buy all 4 rotors. I only needed front rotors at the time of my first brake change at 113,000 miles. I went with NAPA ultra rotors. Paid $68 each locally. I used them with Ford OEM pads. Very happy with them so far. I have about 6000 miles so far and have been very satisfied with their performance.

I have them in the rear with the green pads. Work fine, wearing clean , no scoring of rotor.
PS erotor and pads on for 45K. I run the car hard and tow a 3500 lb. boat. Good luck.

What's wrong with the OEM stuff??:confused:

I got 177K miles out of my OEM pads and rotors except for about 500 miles when I got some aftermarket ones that took 3X pedal pressure to stop...returned them and back to OEM's and as far as I know they work fine!!:beer:

I agree ,unless your on a road coarse all the time i think oems work fine. I would stay oem.

I'm about to start doing autocross so I'd be a bit hard on braking
