My Ride: 2007 Black Sapphire 535i
Its a done deal! Thanks for all the info guys. Michael should have this stuff shipped out to me by Monday. I'll post a pic or two once the install is complete. I ended up with the R1Concept Rotors ELine OE Quality(XDrilled/Slotted) and Hawk HPS Pads.

Hi,
Yes I do ship to Canada that's not a problem. Here is the price break down:
Hawk HPS Pads (Inc Sensors)
Front - $100
Rear - $75
R1Concept Rotors ELine OE Quality(XDrilled/Slotted)
Front - $175
Rear - $160
R1Concept Rotors Premium (XDrilled/Slotted)
Front - $250
Rear - $195
The premium rotors are stronger but the elines will work just fine. I'd get premiums if you were going to track or do crazy braking.
Please PM me your postal code so I can give you a shipping quote.

I used these rotors however I used akebono ceramic pads the match of the two is a great combo, quiet good stoping wet or dry no dust and no noise. The rotors do rust when they get wet other wise I would do them again in a heart beat

These look great and may be exactly what I am looking for. I love the Brembos but also do not want to break the bank. How do these other options compare quality-wise?

The R1Concepts I sell come in 2 different grades: Eline and Premium. The Eline uses the same cast grading as factory rotors but at a fraction of the cost. The Premiums use a higher cast grade similar to BBK rotors.
Both grades are coated with zinc to help against rust corrosion.
I've personally sold many sets to forum members and have not had one complaint.
