Anyone that has ever owned a Chevy or GMC truck knows about the spongy and sleepy brake feel that is provided by the manufacturer. In order to bring your pick-up or SUV to a complete stop it feels more like you are stopping a train than a car.  
 
I have never been one for high performance modifications on my truck. My truck is my daily commuter, work and pleasure vehicle and I am skeptical to stray from OE products. After a few pad changes and new stock rotors I still was not able to shake the pathetic brake feel of my Chevy. A friend suggested I try the EBC brake Pads and EBC Slotted rotors to really improve braking performance. I was worried about the install process and too much brake sensitivity. The last thing I wanted was brakes that lock up the tires on the slightest touch or slam your face into the dash. These brakes fit so perfectly to OE specifications that they are as almost easier to install than OE equipment. There wasn’t a single snag on the whole install process. The rotors were made with the utmost precisions. You can fully see the rotors through your wheels giving your American made truck the look of an Italian sports car. EBC didn’t only invest in their engineers but their stylists are on the ball too.
 
Aesthetics aside, the performance is more by far the best part of this product. Rain shine sleet and snow these brakes out perform.  If you own one of these trucks you know the feeling where abs kicks in and you lose all brakes on slick surfaces. The EBCs tone down this horrible phenomenon and keep you in control of your braking. When you have to slam on the brakes it is smooth all the way to dead stop. It only takes about three full stops till these brakes are fully functional and you can feel their full potential. If you can drive a friend’s car that has these brakes you will be instantly convinced.

I bought a set of front brakes for my car a couple of years ago and I finally got them installed. Thank GOD that the fit and function are the same as the OEM but with a bit more braking power. In regards to the ease of instalaltion, the product fits perfectly. The performance is still under study but so far it seems to be a bit better braking power than the original parts that came with the car. I will definitely recommend this product. BTW - the factory have misplaced the rotor in the wrong box. I wished they would have a written instruction on which rotor goes to the left and to the right. I could have saved a lot of time. My co-worker have done the same mistakes, so instruction leaflet is needed

Just installed all 4 corners new gold drilled vented sport rotors and green stuff pads.

IMMEDIATELY noticed a difference.

this is the family "truckster" so wanted to make sure it would stop and boy does it. the first time I "stabbed" the breaks hard I got and immediate complaint from the tires.

you can't go wrong with EBC !!!

Just wanted to let you know that I installed my EBC Sport Rotors and Greenstuff pads (front and rear) yesterday on my 2004 Infiniti FX35.

The installation was a breeze, the EBC components fit PERFECTLY! My only issue was trying to get the original rotors (rear) off of the vehicle as they were both 'frozen' to the hubs. I had to pound on each with a dead blow hammer and they finally gave way and came off. That was the only hitch for this install...

Just an FYI in case anyone ever has this question (like I did), the original Nissan pads did have a single wear clip exactly as the EBCs and they were installed at the factory on the RH side (passenger side) on the INSIDE part of the caliper facing inward (this makes sense as they would bind against the outside part of the caliper if installed on the outside. I would suggest letting folks know about this. This is not documented in the Infiniti service manual either but I believe they need to be installed in this fashion...

So far I'm extremely pleased with the initial performance of the rotors/pads; still taking it easy on them as they are new but they feel very good and are noise-free for the moment! Hopefully they stay this way. I do hear the whoosing of air coming from the rotors on slow stops (as mentioned in a note supplied with each rotor) but it's a faint 'air rushing noise' and doesn't bother me at all, kind of sounds 'cool'!!

Thanks again for answering all of my questions, I am SOLD on EBC brakes going forward. I plan to try the Redstuff on my Corvette when the time comes to do brakes on that vehicle...

I've been running these rotors for almost 100,000 miles. FAR superior to all thru-drilled rotors I've owned. These have not warped, cracked, or developed uneven wear throughout the useful life of the rotor. As the EBC literature states, they do produce a "thrumming" noise, but it's no more offensive than any other aspect of high performance auto modification.

I've run these rotors very hard; to the point of pad fade with both Redstuff and Greenstuff pads. Also run these rotors in all weather from -20F to 110F, raining, snowing, ice, etc.

They perform flawlessly regardless of what I throw at them. Bravo. They do rust, regardless of any plating they arrive with. Keep a coat of HT enamel on them to keep them looking good and take care to keep your hubs in equally clean condition to help prevent runout.
