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.

Received my rotors today (slotted) and they are top notch, going to install these with the EBC Yellow Stuff that I already ordered.

Did you get your brake rotors installed?

How do the work?

What do they look like?

My brakes are toast and this is exactly what I need!

How is the brake feel coming down hard on the brakes from 80+?

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

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

Thanks for your response. I'm a bit torn between going this route or going with the BBK that NFS is offering.

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

I was in the same boat, and went with this cheaper route, but, I think for the money, the NFS BBK is the best bang for your buck bar none. I think it really comes down to what you intend to do with your car. Any track use at all, go with the NFS BBK, but just an upgrade for a daily driver, this should certainly be considered.

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.
