I did crossdrilled rotors up front with Hawk pads and Ebc for the rears. Works good and is better then the stock pads which did last over 50k before my front left caliper decided to lock up on me.

Curious to know how many miles you got on the JK before the brakes needed replaced.

I run hawk greens w/oem rotors. Love them. Good wear little to no dust. No noise and aren't chewing through rotors. I refuse ebc because every set I've used except on bikes chewed rotors terribly. These were ebc greens I'm referring too. Just my thing they do stop much better than oem.

I'm at 71,000 and i'll get another 9,000 out of these. I too was leaning towards the green Hawks becausing of the rotor wear. I was getting a very bad pulsing when braking so I had the rotors turned this weekend....pulsing is gone. (Also had a pasenger front U-joint and wheel bearing replaced, that sucked.)

+1 for Hawk pads

I'm personally not a fan of EBC, but some people love 'em.

Running Hawk ceramic pads on the front and Hawk LT pads on the back. Happy with them so far
