Brake pads R1 Concepts or OEM BMW

I switched over to R1 Concepts rotors and ceramic pads and haven't had to clean brake dust since ????????

My local dealer has the “value service” pricing on BMW USA’s website, front rotors/pads/sensors on an 18 330 x drive for $419.95 front and $435.95 rear.

I installed R56 front brakes.

Did my own with R1 Concepts E-Line pads and rotors. Bought my own parts kit seperate since they don't include them like some brands do. After 40k miles on them, I'm still going strong and will go another 20k before I evaluate their shape. I have slotted and drilled rotors, and you can visibly see the wear on the rotors, the pads are still going strong. As for stopping power I'd say it's average or OEM. No rust after 2 years on them thanks to the coating on the rotors. The surface does rust lightly after a rain storm, but they're clean after driving and braking.

I did use r1concepts house brand ceramic brake pads in my most recent brake change and I like them overall. I do not track my vehicle but maybe some spirited driving here and there

M3 stock brakes are better, the GTI gets a little tail-happy under hard braking above 110-130mph.

They were super friendly and helped me get the best brakes for my Suburban. They literally made the brakes specifically for me and I picked them up a few days later. Definitely a quality product, too.

The way the brakes begin to grumble during heavy braking is less impressive, but they work well enough.

The brakes. Looks all OE. The dust is unbelievable awful.

And jesus christ. $600 for rear pads and rotors? the the parts are like $250 and labor shouldn't be over $200...
