EBR Racing Rotor

Good stuff, it's good to hear EBR took care of you. Anyway, in the automotive world, it has been seen more often than not, that certain brake rotors just don't agree with certain brake pads. Mainly its the brake lining material and material of the brake rotor that doesn't agree. Depending on the hardness of the rotor, determines whether you need a harder ceramic brake pad or a softer semi-metallic brake pad. Although no serious issues arise out of mix matching the material, customers usually just complain about brake noise, and occasionally we do see serious brake scoring issues from this like in this thread. Not as bad though because it still wouldn't cause brake pulsation unless the rotor is warped or you have been riding the brake for a stupid long amount of time to heat the rotor till it warped, which I doubt is what happen. So I'm curious, maybe everyone can research what kind of brake lining material they have on their pads and what kind of brake rotors paired with it. Maybe we can find the best match of rotors and pads. Obviously buying whole complete sets works best like the EBR race rotor w/ EBR float kit and EBR pads works. So what other combinations have y'all tried and worked out great? I would like to know because I am changing my brakes very soon.

I tried using lyndall golds on ebr's 5mm cross drilled rotor before they put the slots in it. It worked but too much dust and not very good stopping power.

Then I switched to hawks HH rated pads and am much happier with them. Less dust and more stopping.

new Rotor, EBR Floaters and EBC HH Brake Pads..

And in bold is the root cause of the problem. I doubt you'd get it in writing, but I asked about that exact set of pads (I had a brand new set sitting here waiting to install them) prior to getting the EBR rotor/hardware & pads (nearly $500) and the answer I got back is that the EBC hh pads are crap and not to run them. I've had the 2015 compound pads in use on the street for over a year with NO issues.
