*Note: The EBC Front Dipled/Slotted Rotors and Hawk HP Plus pads that I installed at 157K are almost gone. It looks like I'll get about 10 or 11 thousand miles total on this setup. The rotors cannot be resurfaced as the wear is too extreme to the point where the original slots are gone, leaving only a faint hint of the dimples. I found that this rotor/pad setup is extremely effective, but in my option the noise, dust and short lifespan is not worth using on a daily driver that will only occasionally see a track day or mountain run. I should have know that this setup would not last long, as the brake bite was so extreme that while breaking under hard conditions during rural nighttime runs, sparks could be seen flying out of the wheel wells from the drivers seat, NEAT!
