so my rotors are warped and my pads need replacing. So I was hunting around and the obvious choices are EBC and HAWK. I found these they seem comparable to ebc.

brake performance slotted and dimpled rotors and ceramic pads

I am looking at the "premium" dimpled and slotted ones that have the lifetime warrenty for warping. Not the drilled ones.

It seems like a good deal and they give you one set of ceramic pads for free when you buy 4 rotors which I plan to do.

These are about $150 less expensive than a full set of EBC rotors and pads from summit...

2003 eclipse GT spyder is my ride.

Is it worth it to spend the extra money on the EBC parts or are these fine? I don't ever hit a track, I just drive like a maniac so I figured the dimpled and slotted rotors are a good option for me to avoid warping again.

No advice on installation necessary I am paying the guys at STS here to put the brakes on for me at $120 per axle. It says these are a replacement for the OE rotors and no modification to the brake system is needed. I don't trust myself installing brakes lol.

Any advice is appreciated.

breaks are one of the easier things to do on a car. unless you have drums, they are a bit more work. but since you have a gt you should have all rotors. take the money you are spending to have them put it on and go with better rotors and pads.
