Default EBC rotors and pads.
I just bought some dimple and slotted rotors with green pads in front and yellow pads in rear. I hope this setup is awesome. Also should I replace my front hubs and replace my brake fluids?

If its a 4x4 i wouldnt worry about hubs unless they are giving you issues. I would cycle your brake fluid though.

When did you last change your brake fluid out? I just did mine at 50k and it was pretty dirty.

Orginal brakes and fluids. Never had a problem till now that I have no more brake pads in the rear. I do mostly highway driving. Guessing thats why it lasted this long.

Replacing the brake fluid is a scheduled maintenance item.. wondering why you went with different pads for the front and rear..

I did the EBC dimpled slotted rotor with the Green in Front and Yellow in the back.. There was no need for green in the back.. I probably could've used Red..

Not to high-jack, but what is the best way to replace brake fluid?

Suck the reservoir dry with a turkey baster, fill with new fluid and bleed all four calipers till reservoir is half way...refill to correct level... that's what I do anyways.

A random guy suggested it to me. Im thinking because most braking is in the front. So with yellow in the rear it will increase the rear braking power. Just what im thinking.
