I'm planning on putting 35's on my truck and since my brakes are bad I've been doing some research to figure out what brakes I want. Think I've decided on drilled R1 rotors up front, regular R1 rotors out back and OEM pads all around with Stainless steel lines from Apex. I've heard good things about the EBC pads though so thats the only thing I haven't settled on is if they are worth it over the OEM's.
OK, I'll buy the initial bite theory, but after your brakes are warmed up, you still have the increased pad wear as a bonus...

Though it may decrease over time as the leading edge becomes dulled...

With the price of OEM pads being what it is, I think I'll stick with drilled only...
