EBC Brake Rotor Kit, Junk or Quality?

[JDMEpitome]

I would be scared to buy drilled rotors, as I hear that they have greater chances of cracking. Also eventually the cavities in the drilled rotors start rusting and it looks really bad. I don't think there is any need for slotted or drilled rotors for accords other than looks, but if you want to, then I would go with slotted. Just my opinion.

Thanks for the info, I'll keep it in mind, but I'm pretty hell-bent on the slotted rotors. Thanks though!

If you go for drilled and slotted get quality ones.. EBC are good quality. All will crack or break (slotted or Solid) if you roast your rotors.. but the cheaper ones of Drilled/slotted will crack fast... So do it right the first time if your gonna get drilled and slotted, get quality... Summitt Racing makes a good break rotor for cheap too... They are Quality parts better than "dontlasts" from autozone.. Get the good pads too... Good rotors dont mean crap unless you have the pad to back em up...

Yeah, I found another kit for cheap with the Drilled and slotted EBC and EBC pads. And, I don't plan on killing my brakes, so that's part of the reason why I'm not to scared. More for show tbh.

Yes EBC is great quality stuff...i've used both the slotted and drlled....and the slotted....the slotted and drilled bent after mayb a year but i think its cuz they were on a Astro van with so much weight on it.....the Slotted i just bought for the Accord and they are great and they bite real good.....the only downside is what Sketch had mentioned....."They are Dusty"!!

Go only slotted

Don't know if you're set on it yet but I bought full EBC rotors for my 99 accord v6 and they cracked :/ My mechanic said that it might have been because I used ceramic brake pads.. I bought mine on Amazon.com though. I ended up just going back to straight brembo blanks. YMMV i guess.

 

[JDMEpitome]

Yeah, I'm going to go only slotted, and I'm getting some new EBC pads as well. Hopefully that will solve the cracking fiasco. And, if they crack, I'll bite my lip and just get some Brembo blanks. . .

cross drilled - VERY PRONE TO CRACKING

slotted - prone to chewing up your pads

blanks - well they are blanks...enough said

I'll be looking into some slotted ones...

Check out the ATE Premium Ones (Slotted) They look awesome and a very decent price
