I've read plenty of threads on the issues of the front brakes. My disc were warped the day I bought my GX and they've steadily gotten worse. It's time to finally replace them, and I was looking at getting EBC Rotors and Green Pads. Just looking for input from those with more experience on this platform before pulling the trigger.
 
I have a set of front rotors for sale (EBC). Brand new
 
I have them all around and like them. Have about 14k miles and so far so good. It did get a little sensitive compared to stock but that's how I like my brakes. It is dusty but this doesn't bother me.
 
I have EBC slotted sport rotors all the way around with HAWK HTS pads...great combo ...about 25K miles on them now and smooth as silk with awesome stopping power.
 
I installed a set I bought from Amazon. Power Stop rotors and ceramic pads. So far they are great, stop really good and little to no dust. About 2k miles so far.

One word of caution is to fully inspect your calipers. I had one piston that was frozen. If this happens it will create the sensation that the rotors are warped. I probably could have re used my rotors and pads with some new calipers and gotten rid of the pulsating front brakes... That being said, it sure is nice to have all new.
 
FWIW, I have EBC greens on my 80 and it was a night and day difference.
 
I still have a set of front EBC rotors if someone wants a deal :)
