Need Brake help

I want to change out my rear brake rotors and pads. Has anyone used EBC redstuff? Also does anyone know where I can buy crossdrilled rotors? I just got my front brembos in and might as well replace the rear pads too. Any help would be appreciated. TIA

Have never used EBC but i always liked the porterfields very very low dust and do not warp rotors at all. Any pics of the brembo, can you pm me what they cost. I am interested in them as well.

VIP status is doing my brakes. I dropped by to look at then yesterday and they are massive. Status is also the place I bought my Wald bodykit too. They are good guys over there. They are located in Torrance now.

The last time I bought the porterfields was from a online dealer in Illionis, but I think you can buy them directly through Porterfield in Costa Mesa.
