Which rotors?

11SEC · 07-03-2014, 12:22 PM

I need to replace my rotors soon and I was wondering which would be a good upgrade?

fravel · 07-03-2014, 12:26 PM

I love my ECS Geomet rotors.

Hokie_BMW · 07-03-2014, 12:55 PM

I went with R1 rotors and am very happy with them! PM their board sponsor and he'll give you a good deal on them

Heard lots of good stuff about the ECS and R1 both.

Zimmermann too. Which is the route I went from Autohausaz.com

I went with Centric High Carbons... They seem fine, no complaints so far. I've used them for about 2000km

OEM blanks ...high quality, OEM part/fitment, lasts a long time, pretty much bulletproof.

What about stoptech?

Brembo

ECS 2 piece

you can get the 2 piece if you want lighter rotors they are expensive though you only have to replace the actual disk when you change them but thats if you keep the car for that long. I got r1 concepts slotted rotors and really like them. if you want cheap option go for oem zimmerman or centric blanks. theyre cheap but also really good if you dont want drilled or slotted.

The Z4 35is two piece factory rotors are a great option for anyone who is a purist when it comes to parts. Other wise I tend to side with fravel and SaviorXi

If you change your mind against upgrading the rotors check out the Meyle rotors. Direct replacement, coated (similar to our GEOMET but not exactly the same stuff), and rather budget friendly.

Whatever's cheapest on Tirerack, even their budget stuff is pretty good, ie ATE or Centric. Don't see the piece of getting slotted or drilled which can lead to uneven pad wear, cracks, etc.

Centric isn't too bad. They are the off-brand of StopTech

Centric is the mother company and Stoptech is their racing division.
