Red Stuff with Stock Rotors

Thinking about getting the EBC Red Stuff brake pads, but do they play well with the OEM rotors? Also, what about the Green Stuff pads? Just trying to figure out my options...hating the dust from the stock pads. Thanks.

They will work fine with the stock rotors as long as you have the rotors machined a little to make them relatively flat. The stock pads are pretty easy on the rotors so minimal machining needs to be done.

Have red stuff and rotors enroute. Anticipating much cleaner wheels. Also having the wheels made all new and shiney too. The tires? They are on their own. Got 58K miles out of those filthy OEM pads.

Would the greenstuff pads require machining as well? I'm trying to learn toward the most affordable with best performance option since I'm on a budget. Thanks thus far!
