i'd recommend the EBC's. I got drilled&slotted rotors so there is alot of brake dust, and these ebc grip pretty good, and have low dust. I drive my car like i'm rallying it all the time and it behaves really really good wink just my 2c

also you can get them from tirerack.com or kore or whoever.

Performance Carbon Metallic performed admirably on my thunderbird, which was a *big* test... 3600 pound car with 10" disc brakes and rear drums. They never faded, they lasted a good long time for the application (about 35,000 miles... by driving habits were fierce) and never made any noise.

Only beef: they're *filthy* brakes. Several times I'd touch the front of the doors and come away with a hand covered in brake dust. Not good for a white car.

Wonder if all those quick stops from 100+MPH had anything to do with it? tongue.gif
