Brake Pads

Does anyone know if any aftermarket brake pads are available for the F90? I did this on both of my F10 M5's and was very happy with the lack of squeal and brake dust.

I've tried Akebono, Cool Carbon, Carbotech, Powerstop and EBC all with good results versus OEM.

Interested as well. The squeal on the steel brake is driving me crazy. It is better after bed in procedure but still squeal after 30 mins of driving.

Are these eliminating brake dust by using a different material than stock?

As I'm interested in finding a pad that generates less dust, I reached out to Powerstop last week and their response was that they still don't have for the M5 and to keep checking.

I'm surprised that we are not getting more options yet.

i just heard from the folks at porterfield. they will do custom r4s pads for the f90, same price as the ACG pads. they also said they plan to offer pads non-custom which will be a little cheaper but that they wont go into production until june or july. i had the r4s on my f82 and they were great.

Not much interest thus far... If we can get 10 people interested I'll reach out to them. Worst case scenario is waiting until mid summer when hopefully they actually release them as planned. Loved the r4s on f82!

Ok Porterfield makes the pads for ACG so you can buy from either place right now (R4-S)

The rear pads prototype defect is being corrected
