I'm running their slotted rotors (honestly just for looks). Back and forth between red and yellow. Usually mount yellows for autox/dragon runs.
Never had a bike with ABS, but I had a 2007 SV650S and changing some things on the front brakes really helped. I had EBC XC Rotors, HH Pads, Galfer Lines, GSXR Master and it made the braking more responsive and linear.
Cheap Centric blank rotors, Castrol SRF fluid, and G-LOC track pads will change your mind on brake performance. For dailying, I run Stoptech Sport pads on Centric blank rotors, still with SRF.
I had the same issue with my 2017 SEL-P - went with Centric high carbon rotors and akebono pads. No more issues. The factory pads and rotors are crap. Passengers think I can't modulate brakes in the parking lot as it stops abruptly.
Those should be a very good combo. I ran Centric rotors on my 2012 Gen2 with good results.
Old shop I worked at swore by centric posi quiets. They bedded in good even when the customer didn't want rotors
I did use a set of Centric rotors on one of the German cars, so far so good.
Have 5th gen with EBC rotors and pads. Have used them for 5 years with lots of towing through the mountains. Definitely worth it.
I changed my rotors and pads a year ago and got ebc sport rotors and hawk hps 5.0 pads. I absolutely do not recommend ebc rotors as mine have already warped and make a grinding noise. The hawk pads are good, but the brake feel is linear so if you prefer a firmer pedal feel I think ebc red or yellow is a better bet.
hard pass on the EBC products. Had 2x experiences with terrible warped rotors (drilled + slotted). Suggest their brake pads in ballpark with rotors. highly recommend buying from vendor where everything is reliable, predictable, and company stands behind product. I've had great experience with Powerstop but others may have alternative vendors. EBC is a flaming turd for me... from scar tissue.
