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.
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've had EBC slotted rotors on my Crosstrek for almost 100,000 miles now, and they may have been cheaper than OEM rotors.
I've also ordered a full set of the EBC USR rotors and will install them myself, same with the splash shield and door seals.
The ebc slotted are great, I am using them on my gti and Xterra.
I use ebc slotted rotors with red stuff pads for my dailies
I did mine recently. Purchased new guild pins and boots from rock auto and replaced them while I was at it. For rotors I like Zimmerman, pagid, brembo or textar. And pad I like semi metallic, preferably pagid or textar. For this particular brake job I went with textar rotors and a combination or trw and textar pads. Took me roughly 2-2.5 hours and cost me about 680 CAD. I flushed about a L of pentosin dot 4 through too.
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 run ebc front rotors, dba rear rotors and powerstop pads brakes good but my fronts squeal when cold (my car has brembo calipers)
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.
