335i brake disk recommendations?

achu · 07-07-2014, 11:04 AM

after a 2500 mile road trip around europe (yes i will post pics soon), my steering is wobbling like a bitch when i brake lol... so exactly as the title suggests?

shall i stick to OEM or go drilled/vented/grooved? oem are good though

gaza01 · 07-07-2014, 12:05 PM

Go nitrac!
Been great for me so far!

Stoptech slotted rotors here and work very well with yellowstuff pads.

The US forums seemed very bullish about the Stoptech rotors and that's why I bought them !!

where do you buy your disks from??

When you say wobbling like mad would you say the wheel moves up/down when braking if so you could have a calliper issue

the steering wheel shakes rotationally?? i'm pretty sure it's warped disks...

ive fitted Pagid M3 csl/ Z4M discs on mine got them from ECP pretty cheap

Josh1a1h · 07-08-2014, 10:30 AM

Does it always shake?
Only on acceleration?Braking? Coasting?

When is it most pronounced.

Dont rule out your Control arms

Could be a combo of both!

ill be happy to sort some people out on here, as its a nice discount and could save some people a nice sum

Lukey335i · 07-08-2014, 03:32 PM

Only just seen this thread. I also need pads and discs all round on my 2008 e92 335i.
Are these a straight fit? I just want something that is nice looks good with good performance but not too cheap, was looking at mtech.

What's the part numbers?

Dan- · 07-08-2014, 03:39 PM

emailed you back luke, in my experience you dont want M-tec I've seen too many crack

but thats just my opinion.

Defo warped discs, had this on my last discs. And upgraded to stoptech slotted, I must say I'm very happy with them and perform well no noise issues.
Have a look at vrsf website for the kit.
Picture I took on Saturday while installing my downpipes

Josh1a1h · 07-09-2014, 03:41 AM

Bro! Do both your Discs and DPs at the same time. You will thank me later.

If the brakes are warped, over time they can cause your control arm bushs to wear prematurely.

So if you change your discs, and leave your control arms, the control arms can warp the new set of discs etc...

I had terrible shaking and decided to eliminate any possibilities.

Do it once, do it right imo.

Anyway, your car is at that age where the control arms should be changed

^^ was it you yesterday i was PS bits for?
