I need to change front brakes and rotors.. Should I go Oem all the way or these rotors with Oem brakes?

unless you just love dirty wheels all the time, get rid of the OEM pads

I'd stick with oem rotors. And pads. Hard to find a pad that grips as well without the dust.

I replaced all my pads with Hawk HPS Pads and the Rotors with R1 Concept Rotors Drilled/Slotted. Better performance and way less dust, I love em.

The dust with OEM pads is rediculous! I went with OEM rotors but pu ton Pagid Axxis Deluxe pads and it is a amazing how little dust they give off compared to OEM pads. Performace means little to me as i dont drive this car like I do my M3.

Yeah in all honestly I use this as a daily so performance is not super important.. But who makes our Oem rotors? And is tischer the best bang for the buck when it goes to buying Oem?

Rotors are made by O E S those are floating rotors. Two piece construction. Most of others out there are heavier.
