I would post up in some E90-specific forums and see if you can get some feedback there, or at least piston measurements to compare to your stock brakes.Like others have said, the biggest thing you're looking for is to not effect your brake bias.All this said, don't let this hold you back from getting some more seat time. Throw in some fresh fluid, maybe get the HT-10s (which I've had good luck with on track personally), and get some more days under you before spending money on mods.

Pros: good luck on track
Vehicle: BMW

The biggest difference in stopping power for me was installing hawk hps 5.0 pads. I have a lot more confidence driving my prius fast with these pads. I feel like I’m slowing down faster than I ever thought was possible. Honestly have to watch it cuz if you have people behind you they can’t slow down as fast. Someone break checked me today and it was a non issue stopping faster than the car in front of me but I have good tires as well. (avid ascent GT) Only problem with the pads (for gen 3) is they were too thick for me to install both pads with new EBC rotors so I had to rotate the pads in with one old oem and to shave them down (or you can sand them down)

Pros: increased stopping power, more confidence
Cons: pads too thick

I have negotiated with SWMBO that for slightly more than what we would pay to have the dealer do just the rears I could put new slotted rotors (do not want drilled, slotted only), new Fedora DS2500 pads (have them on the FRS and love them) and coated stainless steel brake lines on all four corners and do the labor myself.

Pros: love them

Hawk HPS or HPS+ pads (I don't remember which I put on my R) but those were a great bang for your buck. They require a little bit more heat so I always get on them a little harder the first few braking efforts but once they are up to temp - Incredible IMO.

Pros: great value, incredible braking
Cons: needs more heat initially

I've also had the Hawk HPS, another popular pad, but this has less bite and actually takes some leg work to really get them working IMO. I didn't like the feel.

Cons: less bite, poor feel
