I am looking to locate and purchase quality Ceramic brake pads for my E60, 530i. Does anyone here at the E60 forum know where I can buy these on the www?

If so, email me a link to Presley348@aol.com

Thanks in advance.

If you change from OEM, you will very likely increase the stopping distance.

If the Brake dust bothers you that much Give Bavarian Autosport a call thats what i did (www.bavauto.com), and ask them for the Kleen Wheel Brake dust guards. They work great and they still keep your brakes vented.

I had Hawks HPS pads on my 330i..very good stopping power and little dust My friend's M3 stock brakes were smoking long before mine did on a track day~ Many people use Axxis pads..also worth looking into.

hawk pads kick some serious ass! they are great pads. they actually do last quite a while too, unless of the other aggressive pads out there, and they don't eat too much of the rotor.

whos the deal with waxing the rims?! some sort of special wax to apply?
