Your breytons you had were a bitch to keep clean cos the brake dust has permanently stained the chrome lip!!!!
But using the 3rd party pads, does it affect the longevity of the brake discs?? Id rather replace the pads and have them more dusty than having to replace the more expensive discs... esp my M5 ones!

Haha, this is like arguing between two religions... bring it on! I wanna learn!
PS. Just a disclaimer, I am a "Nikon" believer, I own 2DXs, 3Xs and a couple of the Nikkor lens you guys have mentioned. Right now I am learning how to use the flashlights properly...

They ARE better in the quality of the pictures they yield...
Canon ones need to have a new model to come out...
Come to think of it, does Nikkor update their lens more freq than Canon? I sure know Canon update their camera body hell of a lot more often...

Keith is the expert, he uses EBC or?
BMW pads are crap, too much grey dust!!!!!! even with mild use
my first set of alloys spyder122s were f up and eaten up by the brake dust,
it was a nightmare to keep clean, if u left the wheels for a week uncleaned there were
unremovable black spots!!!
so much so that i chose titanium grey/grey alloys now and only 5 spoke for ease of
washing and cleaning.
