My Ride: 2004 545i - Bone stock... help!
So I've got 8,000 kilometers for my front and 10k for my back, and I figure since I'm replacing the pads and likely the rotors as well, is there an aftermarket pad and rotor that are recommended? I've considered ceramics for lower dust, better performance, etc. Thoughts on this?
And the rotors, as I understand I'll very likely need to replace all 4 rotors as well. Is there a better solution for similar money from the OEM's that I should consider?
For Brake Pads I was thinking these - http://www.ctbrakes.com/pads/bmw.html but not sure what compound would be best (extreme high middle east temps, moderate use, etc). Any thoughts on them?
Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.
