Any thoughts?  I thought I'd read a reason why our OEM front brakes blow is they're made of stainless steel (?) and are too hard to stop efficiently (?) but wouldn't this solve the problem, as well as providing drilled holes to shed water?

News of the EBC rotor is the subject of a few threads at this moment. That's the best price I've seen so far. Best to match with some SS lines and EBC pads. Consensus is big improvement.

Not saying that, please excuse. Just a reference that it is really catching on. I would like to read some first hand experience.

Please feel free to post.
