Would your wheels offset be a reason why it fits?

Those are EBC Greenstuff pads. They're highly metallic and will eat away at rotors.

I heard Hawk pads are pretty sweet.

I vaguely remember that after reading a thread on pads.

Yeah. I'm really starting to hate my EBCs too. They make all kinds of noise and they vibrate like a mobitch, espically at higher speeds. I'm definately going to need some new pads. I'm thinking of either AEM/Nissin or some Hawk pads.

AEM pads wear pretty well and are semi metallic.

yea AEM recommends 17s but some 16s will fit. I have them with my 17s and the rotors clear fine but very little room for larger calipers.

Thanks Spider, they did when they used to sell the lighter, two piece rotors(the rotor, then the hat). These took me 4 months to locate because they stopped making them for the cheaper, heavier one piece carbon black ones. But those look pimp on your SI bro! I was gonna get 16s but wasnt sure which ones would fit so i went with 17s(bought the wheels and brakes on the same day)


These are gonna be for sale soon, getting some rotoras with the 4pot calipers so if anyones intrested PM me.
