I have an 02 Aero and just changed the front pads and rotors ~31k miles.
Bought the rotors from eeuro for 185 total, free shipping.
Put EBC grrenstuff pads (~$60) on.
Changing the rotors needed a star (torx) socket size 20 to pull the brake caliper off and some PB (or PJ) Buster a spray on rust reducing agent that I got from NAPA. One rotor just fell off but the other needed the PB Buster spray and to sit for several hours and then a crow bar to get it off.
The EBC seem to have enough dust - maybe not as much as the OEM but seems more than I expected. However seem to work well - not sure I would say they are any better than the OEM.
Getting ready to change the rear Pads with EBC's. Even thought the rear pads are not worn out I don't want the rotors to wear any more than than they are now. THe OEM pads seem to eat the rotors up. And changing the rotors is a much harder than just changing the pads.
