Which Brake Pads and Rotors to buy?
Hey guys, I'm currently looking to get new brake pads and rotors for the front and rear of my 2008 bmw 328i, i don't wanna spend a lot since i don't use the car for racing, tracking, performance, etc. But at the same time don't want shitty brakes. I live in Canada so most of the websites you guys use won't be any help to me since most do not ship to Canada and if they do they take an arm and a leg for shipping costs. I found these two brake kits on amazon and am wondering if anyone has ever used them? I also need new brake sensors too.

Dude, I am also from Canada. I had purchased the StopTech upgraded kit with drilled rotors. It's not outrageously expensive to do all four corners. I had ordered from VRSF back when the dollar wasn't so bad. There are several vendors on here who offer the same kit.

I am gonna be getting this kit (https://www.ecstuning.com/ES2587992/) sometime soon. Seems like a good price for a whole set all around, PS the links you posted didn't work.

imho OEM is not that expensive, and you will have no worries when it comes to noise.
Having handled OEM rotors, and having used aftermarket on my Nissan, I believe there is a ridiculous quality difference. You have seen people on this forum installing $60 rotors, then debating on why they are warped, some say no such thing as warping, they are deposits, and off we go into a 11 page thread about brakes. Why not avoid by using OEM rotors and pads, are they really that much more? $250 bucks extra for the whole job, people blow that on floor mats with M emblems... Do not do the bed in, now that I have Rheingold I am 100% certain that BMW recommends taking it easy for 200 km. |
