I know several road racers who use Goodrich so I went with those. But yeah a stainless steel line is a stainless steel line.

I second that! They advertise to reduce brake dust, but I see an increase over OEM pads. It seems to be a lot harder to clean off the wheels also. Improved stopping distance is not noticed either.

BAH! EBC stuff is crap. I used them in 2000 and pads glazed over in 3 months. I know someone with the RedStuff (says you can use them for track days) and their's caught on fire.

Like I said, I've had mine for about 5 months and have no complaints or problems with them, and I do drive hard.
