Rotors rate better on the Joe's scale, significantly probably not. Price the factor. Yellow stuff vs pp pads....toss up, more grip yellow stuff, need to warm them up in winter, yellow stuff lasted 12,000 miles of hard DD daily driving Would not buy again. The rotors I would. I have new PP rears and the EBC sports up front, now both with new PP pads and am very happy, for my type of aggressive DD daily driving. The PP even has stopped me from back to back full balls to wall, then slow hard back to mexico limits, with no fade or fear.
