Need new rotors

jevanh · 11-03-2013, 09:57 PM

Hi there.

Just a quick question about which rotors to buy.

I have a 323i e90 sedan with m sports kit from factory. my rotors will no longer be able to be machined so my next service which is coming up i will need new rotors. I dont know much about my e90 so was asking the community for some help into pointing me into the right direction of what rotors to buy? and where from? preferably within Australia and i wont be servicing my car at the Dealer as it is an 07 model and now costs a small fortune to get my service from the BMW dealership.

Is this any good???

Shipping from ECS tuning will be pricey.

I wouldn't touch those rotors, no doubt cheap chinese items which could fail in service costing you more in the long run!

Stick with DBA, TRW, bendix, brembo etc for replacement rotors imo.

Bought R1 Concepts rotors from the US and I had it installed at Advan last week.

F&R crossdrilled + slotted = US$460
Shipping = US$250 (ouch!)
Total = US$710

DBA wasn't cheap iirc, about ~$410+ (DBA4000 T3) for the front axle from one of the supplier, and it is on pre-order only and stock are to be delivered Jan 2014..

Brake performance wise, I felt the brake paddle is a bit firmer and stops a tad quicker.
Price is rotor only and I'm using OE (aka Texstar) pads.

Don't know the cost of shipping, but I assume it will be slightly less than what I had paid.
