E90 LCI Xdrive Brake options

RobertRichy · 08-03-2016, 09:23 AM

It's time to look for new Front & Rear rotors/pads and hoping for suggestions. This is my daily driver that is driven with a decent amount of "spirit" on a regular basis.

Nothing too aggressive but I would like to go with slotted rotors. From there I am open to suggestions on pads, brands and vendors.

Thanks in advance for the input.

I just did this to my car and did a lot of research.

Picked up stoptech slotted rotors and posi-quiet pads for a good price from auto anything

Keep in mind you will likely need new wear sensors and may need new anti rattle clips (both avail from turner)

Very pleased with the result. Better brake feel especially on the highway.

Don't know much about them - I'm sure someone one here has researched them. I just heard really good things about centric / stoptech so went that route.

I had cool carbons and they were great brakes. They have a new sport plus cool carbon pad for the fronts. I was also running r1 concepts cross drilled slotted rotors. Yesterday I just put on r1 concepts slotted rotors and brembo street pad. I'm still waiting for my rear pads to come in to install them.

Tell us how those work out. I'm in the market soon for pads for sure but also looked at the R1 slotted rotors. Curious if you have any squeaking and also the brake dust.

I was researching last night and saw Hawk HPS. Not sure about rotor replacement as mine are in good shape with on 31k on them...

So far so good the brembe are actually ceramic so good on brake dust. As far as the r1 concept rotor they are good I been using them for years and No squeaking with the pads
