F30 Rear brake recommendation

Matador74 · 07-10-2018, 08:24 PM

Hey all,

My rear brakes need to get done. Question is do I stick with OEM pads and rotors or do I go a different route like Brembo?

What do you guys recommend?

Thanks

Matador

Do you track your car or just daily drive it? If you daily drive it just get OEM pads and Zimmerman blanks

i went with EBC Redstuff on Zimmerman rotors, installed them last weekend and have about 500 miles on them since. not a huge sample but so far they feel great! no noise and noticeably less dust over oem and what feels like quicker response.

If you're just DDing, go with OEM. I just replaced my brakes and since I don't track my car I went with OEM. Also, do yourself a favor and go to a website like getBMWparts or something of the same ilk to buy the parts. You'll save yourself quite a bit of cash.

Also go with fcp euro. You'll get lifetime warranty if anything happens to them

I hated the dust on OEM, and swapped mine with EBC red's. Great performance and almost no dust.

+1 EBC Red. Will reduce brake dust.

I will mirror the comments on EBC red. I've put on front and rears and they generate ALOT less dust!
