Time to do my brakes so will be doing pads and rotors on the front. (did the rear brakes last year) What material are you guys running? Any upgrades?
I am tossed up between Xtreme stop (Canadian owned operated and manufactured) and EBC (Yellow stuff)

Big Question is;
Street Only
or
Off-road (especially MUD)
Your answer will greatly direct my suggestions!

My rig is a street queen, only time it goes "off road" is when I drop a sea-doo in, or go camping.
For the record I just went ahead and ordered the Xtreme stop product. I have a disease where I can not buy a product manufactured outside of Canada if there is a reputable manufacturer that makes them here.

You chose very well!
I have them on several of my vehicles...just not my Hummer. Mud and rocks do not mix well with Cross-Drilled Rotors!
Might I also suggest changing you brake lines to braided stainless steel? I use ones from Stop-Tech. Big pedal difference and I run Motul DOT 5.1 brake fluid.
While I do use stock rotors and pads my brakes are still a major improvement over stock!
Post some pics when you install them!

I was debating the cross drilled and slotted rotors. Even on the track you have to put the brakes though their paces pretty hard to ever realize the function.
For me The biggest selling point was that they are manufactured in Canada. The reviews I was able to find were all positive.
I should have these on the rig next weekend and I will post pics when they are installed.
