Need new Z4M Rotors, suggestions?

tikamak · 07-15-2011, 04:31 PM

My front rotors have gone to brake rotor heaven so i need new rotors / pads. I've changed pads for now because i can't help myself, i need to take the car for a spin or i will die.

What i know so far from research is that the OEM rotors are a 2 piece floating rotors and rank pretty high in performance and what i basically need is just to get OEM rotors, some aftermarket pads e.g.: axxis ultimate (very low dust) and to upgrade the brake lines to stainless steel and do a fluid change with a bleed, that should make the OEM braking feel much more solid then it is.

Any suggestions based on experiences? i'd like to have some feedback.

If you'd like to suggest a better aftermarket alternative that will fit on stock calipers, please be my guest. be sure to state why you think so because it's important to me.

Depends how you use your car... For just spirited driving stock setup will be just fine.

One of the advantages of running a true two piece aftermarket rotor is that after the initial investment you just have to replace the outer ring...u reuse the hat thus saving some money.

Are you talking about the racingbrake rotors? if you are, I have come to realise that the rotor replacement cost as much as the OEM rotors so what's the point ? seems like i paid for an extra hat, that's it.

Racingbrake appears to be a better design, possibly longer lasting and/or lighter than the stock ones. Unfortunately, they don't stock our size any more, despite what it may say on the website. I tried ordering about 6 months ago. No go. They don't have our size "hats" any more.
