For normal driving I'd recommend either ATE Ceramic pads, paired with ATE, painted or coated discs.
Get Ate ceramic. never (almost never) have to wash your wheels again
I did them myself for $600, Textar pads and Zimmerman rotors.
Brakes and hoses ATE.
I also suggest you to buy ATE or TRW pads, because cheap stuff might squeak.
If you’ve still got UFO fronts the part number for pads is ATE 602847 (13.0460-2847.2)
Textar
Meiner Erfahrung nach bremst das genauso gut wie andere Bremsen, das Problem ist nach 10tkm sportlicher Fahrweise sind Bel\u00e4ge und Scheiben leer, normale Fahrweise max 20tkm. Felgen Kohlschwarz weil nat\u00fcrlich mega viel Bremsstaub in kurzer Zeit.
Textar makes good pads but they get brake dust everywhere. They are currently the stock ones on my 23 m40i.
Well, I just put Textar pads on and am looking to swap them because they\u2019re super dusty and squeal with light pressure, so I too would love some recommendations.
