'05 545 sport package. Need to replace front rotors and pads.. was thinking about getting drilled/slotted rotors and low dust pads. I checked out ebay and found tons of options but very worried about the quality. Back when I had an E39 M5 Zeckhausen was a popular place to get brake parts but its been a while. Any recommendations?

 

R1 Concept Rotors and Hawk HPS Pads. Very common package that people buy from me on this forum.

Bought those a year ago. 15k miles with no issues so far. The R1/Hawk combo is good too.

 

Ben - Just two questions. On the pads, how are they at keeping the black brake dust to a minimum?

On the slotted rotors how and why do they make your car run upside down? Thanks.

 

I have Zimmerman sport drilled discs (http://www.otto-zimmermann.de/index.php5?Itemid=123)
and EBC yellowstuff pads (http://www.ebcbrakes.com/automotive/...ads_4000.shtml)

These have been fantastic! I did the proper braking procedure to bed them in and since then they've proved on many occasion to stop hard!

 

Does this mean lots of dust or low dust?

 

Well, dust for me hasn't been a problem so i guess it means good:-)

 

I have minimal dust. I had stock pads on before and it was TERRIBLE. These have held up quite well and keep the rims much cleaner than before.

Haha I have no idea why it shows up upside down. It's correct when I open up the file on my computer but loads weirdly on the forum.
