Hey guys, I need to get a brake job done. Not sure if they rotor need to be replaced too, but after some initial research, it seems like StopTech is a good aftermarket brand for our cars. However, I haven't been able to find any models for the 530xi? Do they not make brakes for BMW AWD cars? If not, what other after market brand is worth looking into?

I heard that aftermarket pads don't have as much brake dust crap as the OEM ones, which sounds appealing.

Cool, thanks Michael. Do you know what the minimum thickness of the rotors should be?
