Most likely will just get Zimmerman OE blank solid rotors with Centric Posi-Quiet 104 series Semi-Metallic pads or something OE.
The consensus I see is EBC rotors are not generally liked, even using their pads with them. People are reporting warping and other issues.

What they say on the pads is:
Yellowstuff = a lot of dust, don't work well until hot
Redstuff = low dust, work well cold even better when hot. I can't find much anything on initial bite but no one has said they are bad so they should be a safe bet.

I don't think there nearly as many running Redstuff's than there are the Posi-Quiet so there's not much 'data' to know for sure.
