New Rotorpro Drill/Slotted disc with EBC "red stuff" ceramic brake pads.
Special thanks to Deus for finding the source for my new brake rotors.
Anyway after seeing the rear rotors Deus slapped on his car I decided to order a set of the RotorPro Disc with red painted centers to offset the black look of the rims. At the same time I installed a set of EBC "Red Stuff" ceramic brake pads. I currently breaking them in and I really like the pro look of them. OK the pictures...

Nice brakes and rotors. How is the sound when stopping. Im just wondering how many people are going to chime in on having drilled and slotted (the whole controversy). I like them and if this guy stands by his warranty than they are legit.

My last set was close to the same price and they lasted for well over 2 years with zero problems, the reason I changed them is for the painted centers. In hindsight, you may be paying too much for your parts!!!

Hey Chern
What about tons of folks saying that drilled rotors are not good for daily driving? Because my Max is my only car for now. So if I purchased drilled/Slotted, will I be expecting to replacing them in 2 years cause of cracking and all that stuff people say?

I have the same rotors that Chris just took off and had them for about the same time as his. I just changed the Hawk pads and they are still looking good. I do alot of daily driving and do a couple of trips to Florida a year.
Chris does research on parts before he would put them on his ride.
They look hot my friend.

I asked myself the same question before I got mine, searched the web and came to the conclusion that the problem was overblown. Parts are parts and some will fail.

No need to keep me posted, those are my next rotors, can't beat the price + quality = reliability. More than one member has posted on these rotors, many years and miles of reliability, that speaks VOLUMES.
One question Chern, where did you get the ceramic pads and how much for them?
One more, where did you get your grille and also, how much?

The brake pads cost me about $138.00 for all. They are the EBC "red Stuff". The grill is from ActiveTuning.com they are my sponsor and hands down make an awesome grill for the 6th Gen Max. Visit there web site at: http://www.activetuning.com

Thanks for the info Chern. I'm going to be changing the rotors, pads and lines in the next week or so. Think I'm going to go the same route as you with the rotors (I've got a Liquid Silver; so may coat the centers black) and go with the EBC's.
