Brake pads Hella Pagid or Project Mu

I run the Project Mu HC+ and DBA4000 rotors on a FK8 CTR that is also daily driven. over all very happy works ok when cold but 1 or 2 stops and its up to temp and has great bite. and really only minor pad sequel when stone cold.

The best solution I have found is to use slotted rotors--cryo treatment typically gets me 10K more miles before hard spots develop and I get a pedal vibration--and an aggressive pad without any ceramics. My solution is to use the best quality slotted rotor I can find, cryo treatment preferred, and use either a Wilwood BP-10/20 pad or a Project Mu NS brake pad. I found those two pads were aggressive enough to have great stopping power and would wear out the rotor at the same rate the pad wore down.

I personally use Project Mu HC+800 for their fantastic cold bite and high temp resistance.

I put ~$120 worth of good Pagid pads on my 525i and had ZERO regrets. Especially for being freakin' $880 cheaper than the dealership! Brake pads take all of ten minutes to DIY, no reason to spend that much.
