i think it will throw off the system, like if you run reds youll get more bite then oem pads. But thats what I think.

Alright ill do a bit of research on the product and if i like what i see you can count me in . I wanted to go with Hawk Brake Pads but maybe ill go with EBC.

thats not rotor rust its wet brake dust. The rotors dont rust at all man, they're quality

I have hawk on my rears and they're awesome too. really it doesnt make a difference unless you stick with stock.

i know someone who is running greens on the oems and likes them. says they are better than oem. Red will cut your oem rotor life down, only good to run on ebc rotors cause the reds are ceramic.

please enlighten me on what's wrong with running ceramic brake pads on stock rotors? thanks

I don't think there is. Although, it could be a specific statement about the Reds.

I've been running Carbotech Bobcats (street) and Carbotech XP9s (track) on OEM rotors for about 50,000km and my rotors still aren't that far off full width, and they are both ceramic pads.

Anyway, to my earlier question, I take it that the GB is a set of rotors and pads only, and they don't ship? (As I might be interested in just a set of rotors, but don't want EBC pads.)

I've been running Red Stuff with EBC Rotors on the front since Summer of 07, and the Red Stuff with EBC Rotors on the rear since Summer of 08.

I'll be interested in the set of new pads. My rotors are pretty fine, have tracked with them two. But I would check with someone who has access to JRP, just to make sure you guys are getting a deal. I feel like I payed way less 4 years ago, before the dollar went up. RPM did my install.

I'm too swamped with school right now, but I'll see if I can check with a few of my associates to make sure your getting deal worth the hassle of a group buy.

O, only issue I had was one of rear pads, after a session of tracking got so hot, it burned off the red paints on the EBC pad. Just one thou, but was interesting.

If your not tracking avoid the Reds, I went with Reds only cause I didn't want anything Green on my car, but also I knew I would be tracking, which I did.

i got my setup for less than $500 at jrp but that was when they had the midnight summer sale and everything was 25-50% off! so yah if you want i can visit the place and ask. One of the girls that work there kinda likes me

Mazda_RX804

If everyone goes to jrp instead then looks like we won't get this buy on the go. So if I'm givin it to the end of the week before I close the thread. Anyone know a good place to install rotors andd pads?

You don't need to pay anyone to do this. Done very easily with basic tools on the drive way in less than 1 1/2. Check the DIY section for a detail write up.

RX804---do the rotors say EBC on them? cause i can get the same ones without the brand name on them for a fraction of that price...you can still tell people that you have ebc...if its important...or with the savings buy an ebc t sticker..people wil think your a pro driver...some will argue but its the same ****...unless they use krypton in thier process.lolol

Mazda_RX804

Hey. Already got mine. I think just a part code with ebc is stamped on there. But its ok. I prefer to buy from the brand cause to me is like buying replica rims. Ya they look exactly the same. Buy you cannot compare the quality. Thanks though for the offer

Mind telling us where and how much you picked them up for?

Mazda_RX804

I got it at first force for the price above

9291150

^ well I guess we didn't get the level of interest.

Anyways, I'll be calling 'em seeing if they can get me that price.

Thanks for organizing.
