The EBC pads come with a break-in compound coating, which is designed to wear off the old coating on your rotors from the old pads, so they can bed properly on your old rotors. I'd say go for it, try them without machining or replacing the rotors first, follow EBC's break-in procedure (on their website) and see how it goes. If you have vibration, THEN get your rotors resurfaced immediately or replace them. Regardless, EBC makes some great pads, a definite step up from stock in braking power. I wouldn't get anything beyond their GreenStuff if I were going to do any street driving, as the yellow & red types need heat before they'll function properly, to the extent they're not really safe when not racing.

I want to bring this post back from the dead. My greenstuff pads are squeeking insanely. I did not put the tab that came in the box with the pads. Where do these tabs go? I will try to bedding in procedure soon. Does anyone have other suggestions to eliminate the brake noise?
Thanks
Thanks

Another thing is you could try cleaning them up with brake cleaner. Getting all the dust out might help.
My brother had these on his Saab and I know they made more noise than stock, but we had them installed by a shop so I don't remember what came in the box.

^^ Putting the shims in will likely resolve your noise issue. You might also want to pick up some caliper grease at the parts store to lube the pins and other parts, but keep it off the pads.
