Brake Job V70-XC70 1999

"My question to you is have you found any above average rotor wear with the EBC's."

Nope, but then again, I've only been on them for a few thousand miles.

A few comments, though: the rotors appear to be smooth, without the scoring that I've seen when high-heat pads (like track-only pads) are used on the street. Also, looking at the pad material, you can see small slivers of a brass or copper colored metalic material. Now, I have no idea what Kevlar looks like, but I have a feeling that it's softer or more flexible than the high-carbon material that's used in the OEM pads. If I'm right about that, then these pads should prove to be very rotor friendly, perhaps at the expense of pad life. Ask me again in another 50,000 miles. :)
