I will be upgrading to these when I need new pads and rotors.

I have their dimpled and slotted rotors.

 

@Celwin- i have the same one on my car. Do you have a ticking noise sounds like baseball card in a bicycle wheel? I put some on a few months ago and i still have that noise. Bugs the hell outta me cuz it almost makes my car sound like there is something wrong with em. I called the company and they said they do that till they are broken in. I do 60miles a day and about 3 months worth should be done by now. Also have a small pulse when stopping. Just wondering other peoples experience. Thanks.

 

If you have a ticking noise, and it was already there before you installed the brake pads and rotors, then I would check the wheel bearing.

Otherwise there is a problem with your brakes.

 

no came with brakes. U can hear it louder when u step on the brakes but kinda goes away when off but still hear it. Brakes are slotted and dimpled.

 

Brembo blanks with Hawk pads has always been a pretty solid choice I've felt. Reasonably priced and pretty solid performance.

 

Little late for changing now. stuck with these for awhile.

 

I have no pulse when stopping. I did have a slight sound like you described like a deck of cards in a bicycle wheel. Mine was slight though. I honestly haven't recognize it recently. Next time I'm in the car I will turn off the radio and see if it's still there. So that was the culprit. I always thought it was that little rubber flapper thing behind the wheels.

 

R1concepts.com has a pretty good variety of choices and they are not badly priced... check out the thread I posted "rotor help"...

 

I have power stop cross drilled and akebono ceramic premium pads. They have good stopping power.

 

i am thinking of getting the akebono ceramic premium pads for stock rotor

where should i get them from? besides tirerack?

 

Cheapest place I can think of are the Centric rotors and OEM pads I have sitting in my garage. Sold the G, and they aren't doing me much good for the M3, so they'll be cheap

They're for an S model tho.

 

I put HAWK HPS pads and R1concept rotors on my car and absolutely despise them. Brake feel sucks compared to OEM (until you heat them up, which i very rarely do in daily driving) they make a **** load of noise, squeaking and crap, they dust to all hell, my wheels are dirty after 30 miles, and something is grinding in the right rear. Idk iv had it up to here though. Just want my OEM **** back in.

 

^ damn, thanks for the heads up. I've heard decent things about that combo from other forum members in various break threads but it sounds like these pads/rotors have some serious issues...
