EBC Brakes

I just ordered EBC 6000 series brake pads and EBC sport rotors. Does anyone have any experiences with these components? (Good or Bad)
I have always had great luck with EBC brake pads on my motorcycles. Anything has to be an improvement on the stock setup.

I haven't tried them, but hear all good about EBC stuff, so Im sure it'll be great.
Where did you get yours from? I need some new rotors and pads for my 95 and wouldn't mind some EBC stuff!!

I ordered my brake parts from The Tire Rack , but I understand that you can get them at Pep Boys.

Check out EBC's website HERE

The brakes are redone.

The EBC pads and rotors are installed. I am breaking them in easy.
My first impressions are.... I like them. With the windows on the truck rolled down, you can hear the pads as they move over the slots and dimples on the rotors. (sounds like the brakes on my motorcycles). They stop pretty good. There is no vibration, and no squeal. The brake pedal feel is getting firmer as the pads break in. I would still like a firmer feel on the brake petal, (it still seems like there is a lot of petal travel before anything really happens) but I may need to invest in a master cylinder with a larger bore to get that. ssbrake corp sells a replacement master cylinder with an inch and a quarter bore, but they want over $300.00. That seems a little expensive.
