No, I have not yet changed fluid or added SS lines, although that may well be one of my next projects. I think a reasonable expectation would be to expect slightly better pedal response and reduced possibility of fade in heavy braking conditions.

I can tell you that IMHO, there is a dramatic improvement over the stock brakes, and beyond that it is really hard for me to quantify. I can say I am very pleased with the investment in these rotors and pads, and now that my car has some added power, there is no doubt that upgrading the brakes was an absolute necessity.
I think when Pinoywhiz get's his installed with Yellowstuff pads he should be able to provide some good input. I would expect that combination of rotors and pads should stop his car from 80 in just over the length of a dime

Sorry, in truth, personally I have never really tried that, in my case I don't really ever drive my car(s) very hard.

Big factors for me are the extra cost of the NFS setup and also the voided warranty issue.

My overall opinion of this setup (DRT Drilled/Slotted & EBC Redstuff)...
Braking is more predictable, as brake fade is greatly reduced. Stopping distances are reduced over stock by a guestimated 10%, but I think that has to do more with EBC Redstuff than the DRT rotors. I am extremely satisfied with this setup, but I'll see how long term wear & tear goes. I still second guess my decision because the front rotors still look to small for the car to me....and the NFS BBK is the sex!...but still satisfied non the less.

Well just got a call from the shop and the EBC Yellowstuff that I ordered dont fit 
I was wondering if any one got the correct part number for it or can anyone provide me the part number for the EBC redstuff front and back pads for my '09 Ralliart.
