Default Brake rotors/pads

Hello there guys! My first post here!

My rear brake pads have at least 2000 miles left before I have to replace them and I was wondering if I should just replace my front ones as well?

I found this kit online and any advice would be appreciated.

Let me know if its a good or a bad buy!

Thanks all!!

....and yes I know the title says break! Haha, sorry bout that!

Welcome to the forum!

These folks do business in my home state. I placed my "break" pad <grin> and rotor order from them one afternoon, and got the parts the next morning! Their service, advice and prices are phenomenal! I highly recommend them!

I wouldn't do the fronts unless the rotors are out of spec or the car is telling you to get them done now.

How many miles on the car? I just replaced wives '07 530i brakes (112,000 miles) with OE BMW rotors/Hawk HPS street pads (minimal brake dust) and the car feels awesome.


Pricey set up but well worth it.

My 2006 530xi has 65,000 miles. Still original front and rear brakes and rotors.

Wife's 2009 X5 is at 69,000 miles. Her fronts done once under BMW maint. Rears once under BMW maint. Rears done again recently by me when the sensor came on. Changed everything: rotors, pads, slide pins, dust boots, springs. Got the parts from Autohausaz.com. Used Zimmerman rotors. Rest of the parts were ATE as I recall.
