EBC recommends changing both front and rear, safer that way.

have anyone tried carbotech pads, good and detail info on their website. EBC might have good products but the info from their tech / sales depts is pretty poor imho.
for me I dont real care what they say. They are just like any shop. all they will say is they stuff is good and works. So wast of time.
I care more on the user feedback on all the forum, not just e60 forum.

Before Bill spends the 8K for the brake, he must buy a piano, negotiate the price with the seller, find somebody to retrofit the brakes, and lastly pass his wife's detection. Seems too many obstacles for him. He will probably end up the same price as retail.

the key is to listen and then make your own judgement. change both front and rear its just common sense, I think.
