After going over a ton of reviews and doing extensive research about aftermarket rotors for my E60 I decided Centric (parent company of stoptech and powerslot) rotors would be the best option. Sure enough 525ienjoy had a set he posted for sale so I picked them up over the week. Needless to say I have been waiting for Saturday to come around so I could install them and well, its Saturday!!!

Install was a breeze. Everything went very smoothly and I decided to continue using my Axxis Deluxe pads so total install time was about 30min. Initial brake bedding was quite an experience as I had a lot of shaking in the steering wheel upon braking however after 2 good brake bedding processes shaking is gone and braking bite is MUCH better than with my OEM rotors. So far I am very pleased with them in both functionality and quality.

Oh and a side note, I painted the calipers silver a few months back.

Anyways on to what you guys really care about....pics! I'll post more of the whole car tomorrow.
