Cool cabron pads the best?

Charleston335 · 04-26-2011, 10:33 AM

So I did some research and for about $100 I can get the cool carbons which states have much less brake dust and perform better than OEM, can anyone confirm this? Dealer wanted $700 to do both rear and fronts

Cool carbons are great! Go for it.

Also check out the new OEM pads, I heard they are a lot better in terms of brake dust. You should be able to find the part number if you search.

Why do you like these?

New OEM pads? wonder how much

So those with cool carbon, how is the brake dust? I know with OEM my rims are black within 2 days...

I can't wait to get new pads. My wheels are silver, but they might as well be gun metal.

We have Cool Carbon pads on a couple of our cars and the brake dust is definitely less than OEM while braking is much easier to modulate. We have these in stock and ready to ship if you need a set.

I see the 135i cool carbon front pads are on sale for 30% off...any chance you can take 30% off of the 335i cool carbon front pads?

What is the average life (in months) on these if I drive the following:

M-F: ~20 Miles daily City
S-Su: ~ 75-100 daily Highway

Any generall input here is greatly appreciated. I just want to see how long a $230 investment is gonna last me.
