I have EBC's and have 6k on them... So far so good... Car squats when you really push hard on the brakes... They are slotted and dimpled, so you will never experience the downside to drilled rotors...

Raybestos are decent, but there is a catch with them. I don't know if the problem was ever fixed, but I remeber that raybesto f***ed up their desigen on the front rotors. Stock GXP front rotors have two diffent types of cooling vanes. If I remember they are curved as opposed to the stright vanes in the back. Raybesto relized this so they made different rotors for the front, unfortunetly they casted the front rotors the same, so its like you have two passenger side front rotors. This will cause your front driver side rotor to not cool properly as therefore suffer in performance and wear. However, I have never replaced my O.E.M. rotors yet and used raybestos so I can't comment to what effect this really has if any.

Now Raybestos is no better for copying the idiotic setup.
Still better rotors as DieselPump points out.
