sound good but my is 192hp not 215hp,
red stuff is a bit too much is you have stock rotors, need to change them too.

Redstuff pads will not notice your 8HP difference, that's for sure
I'm driving my 170+HP much faster than many 200HP+ drivers, so I don't see where's the problem to go for the Reds.
They are made for stock rotors pads replacement as well.

I have had my green stuff for a year now and the disk has only 30% left on them compare to 70% last year so need to change them to DBA spoted 1s

I've noticed also that as it wears (in it's midlife) it has much better cold efficiency than when it is new.

green stuff
EBC recommends Redstuff Kevlar-Ceramic, for much less dust than greenstuff, for cars above 200HP and it is rotor friendly (EBC says)
Greenstuff
Redstuff

Hey guys, but is there a correlation between the dust left over and the performance of the pads? I remember reading on the forum some time ago that the BMW oem pads are performace oriented and that's why they make so much dust.
Case in which why not try yellow stuff or even blue stuff?

Does BMW actually have low dust brake pads available as replacements? Or is it necessary to buy indie ones and have them fitted?
It's simpler to buy the spray that is used at the car wash, that remove immediately the dust from the wheels .

I like the OEM pads. First, because once you get them clean and waxed or covered with Rejex, then it's not too hard to keep them clean, second, they really are effective, and third, the status of the wheels (IMHO) gives you some idea whether or not a person is maintaining his/her car...i.e. if the wheels are dirty, how well was the rest of the car maintained?
