Default Anyone have the EBC Ultimax Rotors on their car? I am so sick of shopping for brakes right now...

I have the 01 2.7T. I am almost sure I need the 12.6" rotors like below. As far as the rear, for those Ultimax I only see a listing for the 2.8 that year. Same rotor, or they just do not make it? Anyone using these I would love to hear what you think.

I am pretty sure I am going with the Hawk HPS pads front and rear. I would get the Zimmerman cross drilled rotors as well... I am just shopping on price now. Do the rotors below look correct?

After many postings on this...I am finally going to do the brakes next week, as well as the tie rods. I wish I did not have the drop the money on the tie rods too, but the outer was real loose on the driver's side and the inner was a little loose on the passenger's side. Might as well do it and only have to align once. Anything else to do while I am doing those? I am afraid of what this will all cost me....

Default Bought them but will not install until Spring. Sorry. If you have a question that doesn't involve

how they perform on the car, I could answer it for you...

Are you running the HPS or EBC brakes?

Default I will be running the EBC Red pads w/ the Ultimax rotors - right now I'm running Green pads w/ OEM

rotors. Like them OK, but they are dusty bastards. Grip equal or slightly better than OEM pads, but def more dust! RedStuff are supposedly less dusty and less fade at high temp. I don't plan on any track use, just hard street driving.

^^^Green pads = EBC GreenStuff (just in case that wasn't clear).
