Hart brake rotors/pads???
Front Rear Kit Platinum Hart Drill Slot Brake Rotors Ceramic Pads 2135 | eBay
Anyone tried these? Cheapest way to upgrade to cross-drilled/slotted rotors + ceramic pads I've seen at $216 for all 4 corners...less than half of what AB is selling the EBC kit for.
Sometimes you get what you pay for, and sometimes you get gouged because of a brand name.

I bought a similar set from ebay a couple years ago. Chinese, sounds like there are a couple factories spitting them out and people rebrand them.
Slotted, cross drilled w pads.
The fronts warped in a year, the rears are good after about 40k miles.
The pads are still good on both. So, for $200 I got my monies worth.

I'm about 20k miles into this setup, and so far they've been great.
What bad things have you heard about the EBC rotors? I'd like to keep an eye out if there's a known issue.

Ah ok.
Yeah, EBC Greenstuff don't like to work until they've warmed up a bit. The redstuff is less so, and the Yellow Stuff is the best of both worlds, however they're extremely dusty.
I run the Yellow Stuff pads on my SHO, since I like to drive to and from the track without having to change the pads in between.

I've got the TF drilled and slotted with Federo pads and I love them. The pads are wearing down kinda quick (almost half in just under 15k miles, atleast on the front), but then again I pull a lot and drive my disco like a sports car. I'll be trying the akebono pads next time I have to switch, but the federos have been fine. I've overheated them a couple times, to the point of them turning blue and smoking for about 20 minutes while I let them cool down. I will say, if you start to smell them then pull over and let them cool off because you're about two hard corners from having a hard time stopping, but it takes a LOT to get them there. By a lot, I mean going ***** to the wall down the side of a mountain. They have yet to warp or crack after that and I'll be buying these rotors back next time I need a set.

I just recently installed the EBC rotors and Akebono pads. I have two toddlers with me, most of the time, so my driving is relatively sane. The difference in braking has been very noticeable, but the old pads were getting close to metal and the rotors were nice and grooved. I wanted to get pads that did not consistently cover my wheels with brake dust.

I am waiting for the fronts to wear out to put them there as well.
