Hi All,

    I have a question on the rotors - EBC and Brembo. Can i know what the difference is between both?

     AS you know the price is quite big is near 2 times.  It is of course there have a cheap rotors - RCP.

    I am going to replace front rotors in recent weeks.  Is anyone there help me?

    The price:  Brembo USD: 650
                     EBC       USD:350
                     ECP       USD:150

    Best regards,

Aside from price and brand name, there isn't much info.  Lots of people seem to be happy with EBC, saying they are better than OEM.  (I suspect the Brembos are not much better than EBC)

My 2011 has gone through hell in 15,000 miles.
New rotors at 5000+ miles. And rear brake issues.
New rotors at 7500+ miles.
New rotors at 13,000+miles.
New front rim, bearings, EBC rotors and pads 14,800 miles.


Are you braking hard for mooses?

Fair question. That 2011 wasn't the best C-14 I ever owned. I got rid of it. And they are called moose. lol

If you get them, make sure to post your feedback here so others can benefit from your experience!  It is great having such a large amount of research info on everything we need to keep our C14's running well.

I think the rotors aren't much different.  The calipers, and more so the master cylinders, are where you'll notice the biggest differences.  If you just Have to have Brembo, knock yourself out.  The EBC are equally as good.  Now, mate up the calipers and masters, and I'll admit I'd rather go with Brembo too.  If my wallet could afford it.

+1 on the EBC rotors and pads. My OEM units where warped when i bought the bike at 16000km. They drove me mental for the rest of Las season. Installed EBC last month. So far so good.
