Brake discs ATE or Centric

The ATE disks are made from the same cores it seems, but they are coated entirely in some matte grey coating, the BMW ones aren’t, that’s the difference that I have noted.

Track pads and the basic Centric rotors. Get the Boomba air deflectors that mount on the control arms and remove your dust shields.

I ran G-LOC pads with Castrol SRF with this setup and had my rotors glowing with minimal fade at Gingerman.

Cheap Centric blank rotors, Castrol SRF fluid, and G-LOC track pads will change your mind on brake performance. For dailying, I run Stoptech Sport pads on Centric blank rotors, still with SRF.

I had the same issue with my 2017 SEL-P - went with Centric high carbon rotors and akebono pads. No more issues. The factory pads and rotors are crap. Passengers think I can't modulate brakes in the parking lot as it stops abruptly.

Those should be a very good combo. I ran Centric rotors on my 2012 Gen2 with good results.

Old shop I worked at swore by centric posi quiets. They bedded in good even when the customer didn't want rotors

I did use a set of Centric rotors on one of the German cars, so far so good.

I'm not a track guy, but centric premium blanks are what I use based on s2ki recs, if your feeling fancy, I've heard good things of girodisk 2 piece rotors. Obviously, tracking you'll want to replace blanks more often, but centric blanks are cheap and plenty.

I put centric coated rotors and Akebono pads on my 2016 and have not had pulsing in 40k.

I've used RockAuto (Centric brand) solids, StopTech drilled+slotted, and now [https://brakeperformance.com/](https://brakeperformance.com/) drilled stuff. Centric were fine just got rid of them early since I thought they were warped.
