What brake rotors are good on a 335 (front)
I was looking on amazon (save your hate comments, ebc rotors and such) and there are a lot of cheaper rotors (around $150) that have a lot of good reviews. Is there anyone who has actually bought one of these and whats your experience with it

I've had them on for around a year with no issues. With them being drilled to dissipate the heat, they are bit noisy when used hard. |

Depends on your driving style. Drive hard daily? Stick with OEM bmw rotors and pads. Worried about dust or don’t drive hard there are many other options.

$150 isn't a little high when I find most of the good brake rotors at the price of $110 or plus? I am also looking to buy brake rotors nowadays, that's why I was reading reviews of good ones from here ( https://carcaretotal.com/best-brake-rotors/ ) and found most of the rotors less than $150. Would you share the amazon store links where you are finding these well-reviewed brake rotors?

I've had Centric stuff first brake change terrible pedal feel with them. Went with Meyle rotors and Textar pads and WOW my original pedal feel is back.
OP are you talking about 150$ a piece for rotor? WTF. High premium zimmermans or Meyle are around 60 to 80. |

How are the Detroit axles? Thinking about ordering them but I'm not sure if this is a "too good to be true" price for drilled / slotted rotors. Also, how are the brakes? Does it feel better and/or have better stopping power and how do they compare to stock? |

I would stick with a set of smooth blanks, anything slotted with make a humming noise on braking which annoyed me on my daily. Was OK for the track, but for a daily driver the smooth braking was more beneficial. I would buy from RockAuto as their pricing is very good. I went with centric high carbon blanks and they've held up to some crazy abuse on the track and tend to rust less than others I've used, which I'm sure you will appreciate living in the rust belt.
