Instead of xdrilled, you might look into EBC's dimpled/slotted offering instead. Power Stop makes a slotted/xdrilled kit, but I wouldn't take it for regular hauls down the strip or road-coursing (great for street tho). StopTech has a nice product as well. If you want top-notch performance tho, you couldn't go wrong with Wilwoods (though the parking brake is "sacrificed" if you do the rears with this kit).

I would recommend StopTech Sport Slotted. Drilled will crack under high heat. Definitely EBC pads. Red or yellow.

I will never buy pads from another company because of how well EBC took care of my and how amazing their customer service is.

Really happy with my EBC slotted with red pad combo...not for road course use, but they are awesome everywhere else

I've read that there's a Stage 4 kit from EBC with USR rotors and Red pads but every single website I look for them has nothing listed for a '13+ SHO. Can anyone shed any light on what the actual kit number is for the front and rear? Or do it just have to pick up everything separately? I want to get a cost on some kits but I certainly don't want to break the bank. I need to get something ordered and installed before I leave for vacation next weekend.

Well...made a few calls to some places. Looks like any '13+ guys are screwed as a number of individual EBC stuff is on back order or not available for order at all for some reason. Guess I'll not be able to get some EBC braking goodness so I'll be forced to go with something else. The Power Stop Kit is pretty cheap at $374 on RockAuto.com so I guess that's my only option other than StopTech which was a good bit more.

Just really confused that EBC has just stopped making anything for the '13+ SHO.

PS - I got the kit from Auto Anything...hooked me up with a price match on Rock Auto AND got me next day shipping for the cost of 2 day. Big nod to those guys for sure.

Probably need to call around various mfr's to see what parts might fit the 13+. If not seeing dragstrip/roadcourse duty, you can likely get away with high-carbon rotors. Add a good performance pad to it, and you should be set. You COULD opt for a Wilwood kit, just add a zero to the cost you were quoted for the Powerstops

Meh...I wanted to stick with slotted only rotors but being self employed and trying to get a foothold in the market keeps me from going full out on new stoppers.

I could always cut the floor pans out, buy a lot of Nike shoes and go Flintstone style.

Check out Brake Performance out of California...I've used them many time ....Dimpled and slotted with semi metallic pads...worth looking into in my view....Rich

+2 on Brake performance I used them on my SEL and they worked great. I got the slotted with ceramic pads all four corners....Don't forget the Hardware kit....sold separately.
