Definitely need to post some pics after the install. Do you have any performance mods planned?

I've got 275/35-20s on 20x9 inch wheels all around without any rubbing problems, so going to that size up front is fine, you do get a bit more tramlining but not horrible.

I had the EBC RedStuffs last year and was amazed at the lack of brake dust. Big improvement over even the stock pads, and alot better than the StopTech pads my front brake kit was supplied with. Don't know about the Hawk Ceramics personally but my guess is they're about the same for dust. The RedStuffs had great bite and feel, and no squeal.

Were the redstuffs on stock or aftermarket rotors?

They're on StopTech front slotted 14" rotors, and the rear Roush trakpak slotted rotors.

To minimize dusting, avoid drilled or slotted rotors as they tend to scrape off the surface on the pads (which can be better for stopping, but worse for dusting).

Really. That sucks because I really wanted slotted mainly for the looks. I was going to stay away from drilled an dimpled because of the cracking issues and noise issues that I have read about. Do you like your stop tech rotors and why did you go with stoptech in the front and roush in the rear?

I got a rebranded Saleen/Stoptech kit on Ebay for $900 (can still get em for about $100 more) and they're great. The Roush rears I think are rebranded cryostop or something, and were $200 for the pair. Both are holding up well

I was just looking at your pics more closely.....and the back tires look like they are about the same height as the ones in the front.

Are the backs really about 1 inch taller? If you are running the wider tires in the back.....it looks like you have a 30 series tire in the back??

Dude you really had me wondering there. I actually went out to the garage and checked the tire sizes and then measured them with a tape measure. The rears are 35 series and the front is an inch shorter in diameter than the rear.
