2008 535i rear rotors / brake change - best parts to use?

[slopson]

im about to change my rear brakes in about 1k miles. was wondering what was the best brands of rotors / pads / sensors to use aftermarket etc.

i would prefer pads that produce less dust.

looking to spend no more then $350 bucks for everything (rotors, pads, sensor)

I went zimmerman rotors, akebono euro ceramic pads(super low dust), and some cheap sensor. probably spent about 350 shipped maybe a hair more.

You can find Zimmerman or Brembo rotors for usually $150/pr on eBay from one of the major sellers. Good pads will set you back around $75-$125. The sensor is $8. So we'll within your budget.

This is what I suggest to most of my E60 customers.

Akebonos are amazing low dust pads with great pedal feel and tons of stopping power, paired with Zimmerman rotors it's a win win combo.
