MY Random (ok not so random) thought is that this is a great group of people that genuinely help each other. 

It is rather refreshing to be able to post questions and get solid answers without drama.

Hats off to everyone and especially our Admins/mods for keeping this bag of cats in line.

Random thought of the day: I'm never buying EBC products again.

Just got done replacing the front slotted/dimpled rotors (GD version) and Yellowstuff pads. After 23,000 miles, they are junk. I didn't expect the pads to last over 25-30k, but the rotors both had a pretty deep ridge around the perimeter on both sides. I took them to have them turned, and one was just at spec and one was just out of spec. 🤬

Maybe my longevity expectations were unrealistic with this setup, but 23k seems effin' ridiculous on the rotors, which were not cheap.

Back to solid fronts and Wagner ThermoQuiet ceramic pads. Hopefully these last longer and create less dust.

Rant over.

:o  Gotta do whatcha gotta do!  Raybestos does offer PI pads, maybe those would work better?  As far as dusting, seal the wheel, make it easier to wash off the dust.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

In defense of ebc the yellow stuff pads are only 1 step lower than race pads and are said to be useable on the track.

If longevity was a priority the redstuff are supposed to last longer and the black ultimax longer yet....

But it sucks about the rotors but if the pads worked well then I'm not surprised it ate the rotors....ive always had terrible corrosion issues with centric

I guess I'm one Happy Camper especially after a long 1400 mile Trip last week,which there was absolutely ZERO Codes to be found!!
I also found it very interesting that the Traction control light DID NOT even Flicker(Flash) after each consecutive run considering all the new parts that were recently installed to fully resolve my long haul of Traction issues. Z   :)

You would be the first LMS tuned car hit to 11's on stock turbos?
