    So I am looking to replace my OEM brakes with EBC brakes/rotors on my 2016 TRD Sport DC 4X2. They have the Greenstuff brakes and the Yellowstuff brakes. They also have slotted rotors or slotted/dimpled rotors. Which combo would be best? I drive a lot of highway miles (32K so far)

    I am far from an expert, but IMHO, It really depends on what you need out of them. Slotted/drilled rotors are designed to stay cooler under hard breaking. If you do a bunch of towing on steep grades, could be worth it. Keep in mind though, slotted/drilled rotors could eat through your pads more quickly so you will get more dust and have to change them more often. For normal everyday duty I personally would get plain rotors. That being said, I had a set of EBC super green stuff pads and StopTech slotted rotors on my 2010 DCSB, and it was an awesome combo. Smooth and quiet on the street, and strong bite when off roading.

    I got the Slottled/Dimpled (they arent drilled through) with green stuff 7000 series pads instead of the standard 6000 green pads and it is amazing!!!
