Brake combination

I'm thinking about doing a Brembo crossdrilled Rotors front and back, EBC greenstuff brake pads, and a Goodrich stainless steel brake lines combination. Is this a good combination? I dont know if these pads work well with the Brembo rotors? Any other suggestions? Is this a DIY project or professional work? Thanx...

This is a DIY. . . the EBC Greenstuff give some good stopping power but it gives off a lot of brake dust

What exactly does brake dust affect in braking?

I used to be a EBC greenstuff supporter, but after putting on my second set, I think they changed their pads becasue there's pieces of copper in the pad and with new pads and rotors there's lots of brake noise, and LOTS of dust. My previous set had no noise and no dust. Just my two cents.

From tirerack.com I bought the brembo cross drilled rotors, akibono brake pads, and Goodridge stainless steel brake lines. This is an awesome set up, with a very noticable difference in stopping power and brake pedal feel. I would highly recommend this combination.

For the first week there was some brake dust, but that wore off and I have not had a dust problem since. Also, there is NO squeaking whatsoever.

Good luck.

About 5 or 6 months.

I have almost the same combination except my brake pads are the EBC 6000 Series Extra Duty. Excellent stopping power cold or hot and minimum dust accumulation. I did try Hawks, Axxis and even Bembro pads but the I think EBC are the best pads for my setup. Too bad though, Tirerack will discontinue selling the EBC 6000, so I bought two set (for $25/set) before their current stocks runs out.
