Any comments or suggestions on EBC or hawk Brake pads and rotors? I hear EBC green pads are good and they both have sloted rotors.

Removing mass from the rotors actually reduces their ability to cool, plus it weakens them... not to mention that slots can actually shave brake pad material off.
Drilling and slots were actually tried to help reduce off-gassing from the pads when they were red-hot from high-speed track racing conditions... not something our Jeeps commonly get involved in. Racers have mostly stopped using that kind of rotor since off-gassing is no longer the issue with newer pads that it used to be.The Geezer Jeep: http://www.greentractortalk.com/jerryb/index.htm

One of the reasons ffor slotted and driller rotors is to break the water film that can build up during heavy rain and such hit some major puddles and try to do an emergency stop right after its just not going to happen till it breaks the water film. Not really a big problem in our neck of the woods

Another source for good braking www.vancopbs.com I have installed these kits on numerous jeeps and have had excellent results.
I have actually met Van and he is very knowledgable with kit systems.
Stu-offroad has written up a few articles also about these systems.......
