    I just recently Installed EBC dimpled and slotted rotors on all 4 corners along with Hawk Ceramic pads and so far I love it! Braking seems to be improved and smoother even though they aren't worn in yet. They make make an awesome turbo kinda sound when I brake too lol.

    I have the EBC Dimpled & Slotted all 4 corners with the EBC SUV Green Stuff I love it. Next to no brake dust & it stops so much better now.

    Did you have brake dust while the pads and rotors were getting worn in?

    So did some research on ECB -
    Seem a fair amount of people complain about squealing?
    Slotted and dimpled? Thought they were a no-no for off roading? Seems that they would allow for debris to gather and cause premature wear and gouging on the pad?
    Do you use 7000's in the front and 6000's in the rear? looks like there are not any 7000 series available for the rear?

    What about the Power Slot brakes and rotors? (not power stop but power Slot?)

    I've been told slotted and drilled rotors are bad for off roading by some people and others that run them that wheel say the rotors clean the pads better.

    after close to a year on them I have next to none brake dust.

    I feel they are a lot better over stock, I love them. I offroad mine a lot & very happy on how they work. I went with dimpled verse drilled because I have seen cracks develop around the drilled holes, where with the dimpled not as much material is taken away.


    Also you will only get the squealing for the first 100 miles while they break in completely & then the squealing stopped (for me at least)

    I heard a lot about drilled rotors cracking, thats why i went with the dimpled and slotted. Then again, I dont offroad my jeep, so I dont have a problem with that. Yeah, I had squeaking in my brakes for about the first 50 miles, but now they are smooth and noiseless. I agree with the improved stopping power over stock though!!
