Best replacement pads for Brembo BBK

BMW///Motorsport · 07-12-2012, 01:12 AM

I currently have Brembo 355mm 6-pot fronts and 345mm 4-pot rear brakes and I need replacement pads. I've read posts about Hawk and Poterfield, but I didn't really find a conclusive answer as to the best street pad for my setup (only see's the track once/twice a year).

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

From the factory, the Brembos come with Ferodo DS1500 pads. Those are fine for street/moderate track use. Or are you looking for something specific?

Nothing specific no. just a better replacement pad if there is one that is worth it. Something with better cold performance and less dust

would be nice.

Yes the dust is gruesome

I need to clean the wheels almost every week.

Depends on which Brembo BBK you have(need kit part# prefix to determine), Brembo/Ferodo pads can be replaced with Hawk HPS or Ceramic, Stoptech Street Performance or Semi Metallic just to name a few.

I like the Hawk HPS's I have used them on all my vehicles, even in the winter. Dust is not to bad for a performance pad either.
