[SS Ball3r]

Didn't mean to sound like an ass. Just saying not to go with cheap stuff from ebay.

Not to mention drilled / slotted rotors don't really add performance and will crack.

But if you just street your car, give them a shot I guess.


Go with that kit from Turner. UUC has a nice kit too.

Oh, also check out autopartsway.com

Good deals on brembo blanks.

E46 Brake upgrade. A reasonable upgrade.

i need new brakes for my car, and while i did get a new job and am finally bringing in paychecks again, im trying to keep this on a semi budget, lol. i would love to do 330i or even just m3 brakes, but i have e38 7 series style 5's on my car which people keep telling me wont fit m3 brakes. :(

And i understand that cross drilled brakes probably wont add any performance, but they look cool and i need new rotors and pads anyways.

[esberelias]

yeah i needed some rotors and pads too and thought this would look cool too lol why not i guess...

[Xenocide]

balo rotors, about the same quality as brembo blanks, I am about to order some for my car actually.

Drill/Slotted rotors are bullshit and will do nothing for a street car except chew your pads and/or crack the rotors themselves.

Blanks work just fine, slotted a tad better overall but cost a lot more.

Cross drilled is weaker but adds bling, if you want that, and you pay more.
