Looking for the best option for cross drilled rotors for my 2007 550i. I want cross drilled rotors, but not slotted. Also don't want to spend a ton of money.
What brake pad combination work well for this setup?

 

I've just got Zimmermann drilled disks and EBC yellow stuff ceramic pads with a full brake flush and calipers sprayed.
I'm very happy with them. Not sure on price as the bill is still in the post.

This is what they look like.

Hi,

I recommend checking out StopTech's line of Brake Upgrades for your vehicle. Seeing how you are needing replacement braking components for your vehicle, why not upgrade at the same time with better performing parts, at significantly reduced cost of OEM equivalents?

As always, for more information and other members' suggestions.

Feel free to shoot me a PM / E-Mail or call if you had any questions.

StopTech SportStop Brake Rotors
StopTech SportStop brake rotors are made of an alloy developed from the material used in StopTech's patented AeroRotors used on StopTech Big Brake Kits. This material offers superior cracking resistance due to thermal stress as well as increased initial bite and improved wet weather response. These rotors are OEM diameter for a perfect replacement fit and offer OE or improved vane design where possible on all rotors. These rotors are offered in slotted and cross drilled varieties.



StopTech Street Performance Brake Pads
StopTech Street Performance Brake Pads are engineered to meet the demands of high performance driving while maintaining the refinement and comfort expected in everyday driving conditions. These pads combine the benefits of premium street brake pads with aggressive friction formulas suitable for track day and autocross use. These pads offer increased bite, less fade and less dust than OEM pads. A good replacement at an excellent price.

 

StopTech pads dust a lot more than Hawk HPS. I know because I have them on my car after comparing Hawk HPS.

I agree

 

+1 for acuteperfomance...pricing and customer service is A+++ IMO...

 

I noticed that the cross drilled without the slots tend to make a little more noise than the cross drilled only.

 

Gonna go with the hawk HPS pads, but do the R1 concept rotors come in drilled only? I dont want slotted.

 

Either way, I got a set just drilled for one of my cars in the past, they are within 7 miles of me. Heck I think they were doing them while I was waiting back then.
