Need brakes....and advice.
Hey Guys...
I need F/R pads, and rotors for the front as well. Dealer quoted me something around $800 for the above parts and labor. Looking at dropping that kind of coin, I was thinking of getting something other than OEM....perhaps something more aggressive like slotted rotors. With that said, I will admit that I really like the way my OE pads grab and don't fade....and I don't exactly want to sacrifice stopping power. Any advice or input is appreciated!! Thanks.

I went from stock equipment to Stoptech cross drilled Cryo rotors and Hawks HPS pads. I will not go back.
Ordered from Tirerack $90 per rotor $140 for full set of pads You could always just get the rotors and stick to OEM pads. They would work just fine. |

Hello man !
If you need brakes, choose the formula big brakes APracing, there are in 6 pistons for front 365mm front disc et 4 pistons on rear on OEM disc But there is on front disc in 380mm just for wheels in 19" or bigger ;-) I have this on my 335i and I love the feeling

They are a little lighter on the initial bite which I wanted. I hated slow stop and go with the stock pads. They felt like they would stick. Medium to hard breaking is excellent. Better than stock in my opinion.

Are you going for looks or performance? Cross drilled/slotted are just for looks, and they do look cool and have that "race aggressive look"
Spend your money in good set of pads. If you want performance rotors and you think you need it go with ceramic rotors, mind you they usually "look" normal and are not drilled or slotted.
