Modest proposal - find a brake and tire shop with an on-the-car rotor grinding machine. They work well for mild 'flutter', don't cost much, are fast to git-er-done.

FYi we have not HAWK Pad options as well. They are always my preference over EBC as they have better Feedback so when it comes time to change brakes again I will be going that direction instead of EBC.

Ok, so I found out my new neighbor used to be a mechanic. He has changed brakes/rotors many times, so he offered to help me.
Now, which pads and rotors to get?
You have all EBC stuff listed in the first post of this thread. So you don't like them now? Would you go with something different today?

So now that we have Hawk Pad options I think they are one of the better companies in comparison to EBC. I think the EBC units while better than stock are still a bit not to aggressive under braking. I think any rotor company will do (centric, ebc etc) and hawk pads along with SS lines would be a great option.

Unfortunately long term tests results are very weird. I will be switching to a different brand of rotors and pads as initial feel was quite great but long term tests result in lots of wear and braking improvement reduction. Most likely I will be going with stoptech rotors and akebono setup. No other manufacturer makes aggressive fronts and rears like Hawk HPS or Stoptech street series.

I had problems with Tail Light assembly. 2011 9-4x LEDs went out. Was able to purchase Right Rear Tail Light Assembly from Texas Auto Parts, San Antonio, TX. 210-670-9326 he said he had one left. If anybody is interested.
