I currently have the EBC dimpled and slotted rotors (dimpled meaning not drilled straight through) but I run the green stuff brake pads with that, but I run through brakes like crazy, and that damn humming sound is pissing me off. Anyway I was wondering if I got just the cross drilled rotors will it still make that sound and will I be changing pads as regular. Or am I just using the wrong pads?

When you say you go through pads fast how fast

How many miles before you have to change them ?

Probably about 3000K or more never really checked the miles, but about every 3 months. :roll:

that humming sound is normal with cross slotted brakes. its like putting a card on a spoke of the wheels of a bike.

3000 miles or 3 months - new pads?

Is this normal?

Here is a question? Which way did you put the rotors on? If the slots are pointing towards the front of the car you will get the best braking, but more noise and pad wear as opposed to having the slots point towards the rear of the car, which will have less noise and pad wear but not the best braking. I suggest having the slots point towards the rear of the car if they aren't already.
