Brakes SSBC? or EBC pads/rotors?
Ok, i recently had a 30k mile service done to my balt and they told me what i obviously already knew, I need new tires and brakes soon (joy). So i was trying to figure what would be best 2 get the SSBC kit? or EBC rotors and pads?
Reason im hesitant about EBC stuff is cuz im not sure if the rotors and pads will work ok with the stock calipers or if i need aftermarket calipers also? Little help anyone? Who has done?
That and also, ive seen the SSBC front brake kit but i wanna do the rear also but all ive bin finding is a SSBC rear break conversion. I have discs all the way around so (if i got SSBC) couldnt i just get 2 front break kits or wut? cuz conversion=unnecessary for me.
Would ne 1 suggest SSBC brake kit with EBC rotors?
Just a few ideas/questions that have bin floatin around in my head...

ssbc makes a conversion, so you'd have to get new calipers. It depends on the driving you do, if you really need a lot more stopping power or constantly in canyons, go SSBC much better performance. Everyday driving just go with new rotors, unless you don't care about money, then SSBC for performance and looks!

Well i use my balt mostly as a daly driver but i like to have fun wit it 2, canyon driving, racing..ya know?. I originally was thinkin to go with EBC rotors and pads and then paint my calipers so i have something that looks good, functions good but isnt as expensive but i wasnt sure bout the rotor fit, thats what mainly concerned me.
I seen the SSBC kit as well but i figure if i do my rotors and pads im doin them all. So wut your sayin bout the SSBC kit is that if i wanted to do the rear also (using the "front kit") i would need to replace the rear calipers? i couldnt just use the front kit on the rear?
