Search by part number, looked last night. ECS tuning has them a little cheaper

do you know the part number? When I search the E89 on Tischer or ECS I don't find any rotors?

Well I decided to go with:

PowerSlot cryo rotors
stoptech street pads
Stoptech Stainless lines
Motul 600 fluid

Purchased through Mike@N54 for a great price as usual. (Mike is great to work with).

I decided against the Z4is 2 piece rotors because I wanted a matched set of slotted disks all the way around. These PowerSlot rotors are one up from the SportSlot apparently.

For the amount that I plan to track, I think these will be a very good compromise.

I hope the initial cold bite will be better than I have heard. I do like the cold bite of the stock rotors and pads.... but we shall see. I have them ordered and I will write up a review when I get it done. Probably in Jan depending on shipping.

LMK what you think one installed. I am having my 35is rotors and hawk hps pads installed next week. I may do a few tracking days with that set-up just to see how it faires.

My parts should come this thurs.

I ordered brake sensors - I know this is optional, but is it recommended?

Let us know how you like it. I just ordered a similar setup (different rotors) same evertyhing else. I havn't run pad sensors in over a year, IMO sensors are for the "non enthusiast" who doesn't have the no-how or care to check pad depth. Are the recommended, probably yes, are they necessary....no.

I would agree except for if the sensors are failing... then you get a red warning and it doesn't go away, and it bings too....

Anyway, I am getting them installed too. Probably a waste of 100 bucks.... I'll certainly let everyone know how they are when I get them installed - probably next week.

I have to figure out the bedding procedure now.

DaFish: Looking forward to hearing about those pads..

Ivo is installing them tomorrow, so I should have an update very soon.

I heard that slotted rotors may cause a vibration at high speeds on a track day.... so that has me worried a bit, it better not happen on a high speed stop....

Ok, job done. 1 disappointment was that I didn't check the box on delivery and the Motul 600 fluid wasn't in there, so we had to put in DOT 4 stock fluid. Won't make any difference right now, not going to Mosport in the winter anyway... but pissed me off.

I just finished the bed in procedure. But, Ivo said I should wait for 2 weeks before they are fully up to snuff.

Initial observations from highway commute to the office - over 1 hour and 15 min. Full highway - 140kms/h (90mph), and then stop and go traffic.

initial cold bite: I need more seat time... but the first stop sign I come to in the neighbourhood, about 1/2 mile - hit the brakes from about 40 mph. Initial bite isn't as good, but marginally different. You seem to put a bit more pressure on the pedal. This goes away pretty quickly, then next stop sign I didn't really notice it - about another 1/2 mile away... I would say this is not really a big deal at all.

Standard driving around town, no difference - car brakes nicely, smoothly, I have no noise right now.

Highway pull down from 140 kms/hour - to say 80 kms/hour (50mph).... this is solid and I think better than stock. Solid feel, smooth performance, even and straight braking.

Stop and go when warm - nice, smooth, solid - as good as stock or better. Might be better cause everything is new.

Ivo said to wait for 2 weeks. I'll see if anything is different in 2 weeks.

All in all, happy with my choice and performance. I'd tell you if I wasn't.

BONUS.... slotted rotors look cool, and not stock !

Good stuff man...did you follow their bed-in procedure?

I did!

Just about made me sick too!

Ivo said you both were feeling sick after yours

They feel good now

Feel terrific when hot- more linear than stock that has more midrange I think

No regrets and I would recommend for middle of the road upgrade

[DaFish]

I thought I would send an update on this setup now I have a bunch of miles on.

Cold, there is a BIT less bite than stock, but I don't notice it now.

Warm - like stock feel

standard DD - like stock feel

HOT - Better than stock feel, more consistent braking.

BUT - the slotted rotors create a hum when you really hammer the binders repeatedly. If you are driving really hard and continually hammer the binders, you will feel and hear a hum on the rotors. I don't particularly like it. If I knew it did that before I bought them, I am not sure I would have...

It doesn't affect anything, it is just slightly annoying as people think there is something wrong with your brakes.

I am also not sure if the drilled rotors do this. I would suspect not because Porche, M3 and others put drilled on and nobody complains.

I should have gotten drilled (same price) rather than slotted.

Thought I would pass it along.

Once again, appreciate the honesty
