May have been overkill but it worked a charm. (ebc yellow stuff, dot5.1, high carbon rotors)
I had EBC disks in the past (not on my Alfa tho) and they were very good in my opinion.
I got EBC rotors and orange pads. Much better than stock IMO.
If money is not an issue, get EBC slotted rotors and yellow stuff pads. Amazing combo and will be getting the same when I need brakes.
I have the same setup except with red stuff on my supercharged jag and have 70k miles on the rotors and pads and still look like the day I bought em. I drove that car like I stole it all the time and it has been through pretty rough winters here in central KY.
I changed my rear brakes around 40,000km due to excessive rust perforation on the rear brake rotors and I opted for EBC slotted and drilled rotors paired with Green Stuff Series 2000 pads. They were phenomenal until 103k when I sold the car. A bit dusty but worked fantastic.
I think it's absolutely worth it if you have quality rotors. Had a set of drilled EBC rotors a while back, and had them turned 3 times before they were below spec. Think it was under $20 per rotor. Those things never warped.
My previous Maxima warped rotors like crazy until I put some of the EBC usr slotted on it. They are excellent rotors.
EBC rotors (made in England) and Akebono pads (US). My mechanic thought that the rotors were OEM. Nice and thick and able to be cut once. Akebono pads are frequently OEM, quiet, long-lasting and dust free. Only coins this combo costs more than most.
So my rotors seem to be warped on my 2020 Civic Si, at least I think so. They feel alright with very light braking, but any amount of hard braking immediately causes wobbling. Pads are definitely low, only about 2-3 mm left, so I figured I should just replace the rotors anyway. I just ordered EBC's Stage 5 kit that comes with slotted and dimpled rotors and yellowstuff pads front and rear for $500 due to good reviews on the Civicx forum. However, I'm reading a lot of people say that slotted/dimpled simply is not worth the extra cost for a street car. I drive pretty hard in the mountains and have felt a pretty substantial amount of brake fade at times so I figured I could definitely benefit from some better heat dissipation, but now I'm starting to regret my decision. Am I wasting my money?
I bought my Meyle rotors and installed them end of September last year, about 10-11 months ago. They are completely worn out already and need to be replaced.
