^That's what I have, and trust me, it's a step backwards in terms of performance.
But it does look good, and produces no dust.

With brakes you have basically 3 factors and 3 options: Looks/Performance/Price

If it looks good and doesn't cost much, it won't perform as well...

If it performs well and doesn't cost much, it won't look as good...

If it performs well AND looks good, it WILL be expensive.

I bought the Z1 Cross drilled and slotted front and rears with the Hawk HPS pads. I love the look, but braking is not as good as the stock. I would do it again for the looks though

But have the Z1 cross drilled and slotted brakes lated longer then your stock brakes? I'm going to upgrade to stillen or stoptech brake lines as well.

I have the EBC slotted rotors and Hawk HPS pads. I love the combo, yes the hawk pads initial bite is not as good as stock but when they warm up (doesnt take long at all) they are awsome. They do create brake dust but not that much. This combo is better then stock. JMO ive been in some bad situations and had to brake really hard, great breaking and no brake fade what so ever.

just slotted, i dont like drilled rotors. ive seen to many drilled rotors crack (good and bad quality rotors). slotted is supposed to move brake gases away from the pads (prevent brake fade due to gas build up), drilled is supposed help disapate heat and help remove gases. Dont quote me exactly. but its pretty close.

anyone correct me if im wrong.
