Centric rotors and Akebono pads for me. Have considered trying EBC pads but its hard to deviate from a setup that has always worked flawlessly.

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.

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?)
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)
