Rotors/low dust brake pads recommendations needed

bemami · 08-08-2016, 03:20 PM

Hi forum,

In the market for new rotors and figured i would change my brake pads and paint my calipers. That being said, id like recommendations for

1. cross-drilled rotors you have run on your f10? Make and cost and where you bought them.

2 brake pads that produce less brake dust. Please let me know if you experienced loss in braking power or sound as a result of switching to aftermarket.

Your recommendations will be applied to this baby:

I did stoptech rotors front and rear and brake pads and I'm loving them. Great look also with the guys painting my calipers. I will take some pics might be hard to see in these pictures. I did the whole set for about $600 got a deal.

Nice ride. What pads are you using and where did you pick them up from? Do you have a closer shot of the wheels? Going to call around tom for quotes on stop tech. Thanks!!

I would call up TH Motorsports Thats where I got a quote but the shop I work with ll the time ordered it and honored the price from them. I got the stoptech rotors and stoptech pads and stainless steel lines as well. They don't make rear steel lines though.

I believe they do but I wouldn't recommend them unless your tracking your car. You will kill thru brake pads.

I went with R1 Concept cross drilled rotors and Akebono ceramic pads. I am very happy with the setup, looks and performance. No noise at all and virtually no dust.

Very helpful. Do you have pics?

I got the same setup except I went with just R1 slotted over having drilled or both! So little brake dust and good stopping POWA and looks great! will try to put a post up sometime tonight.

Hey bake,
Are yours the eLINE or the more expensive R1 Premier setup? I'm needing new rotors and am in the market.
