Rating 5.0

I did them 6 months ago. I used import direct rotors from o Reilly. and some brake pads from NAPA I think I used Zimmerman brake pads. I have 0 problems with them and only need to do my rears in a couple of months according to the wear sensor.

Pros: zero problems, good performance
Vehicle: BMW

Zimmerman blank rotors are a good street replacement. No need to pay for drilled/slotted rotors. Personally I went with ceramic brake pads. They don’t bite quite as hard as metallic, but they still bite well, don’t make as much brake dust, and they don’t seize to my rotors after they get wet

Pros: good street replacement, less dust
Cons: less bite than metallic

GALFER Brake pads

Galfer pro pads are the best ones I have ever used. They have more power, maybe same amount of modulation as shimano ones, they seem to resist fade better amd have ok life span.

Pros: more power, better fade resistance
Cons: ok life span

I bought the Zimmerman/Akebono kit when the E92 needed front brakes. I'm amazed how brake dust has been nearly eliminated and it has good bite.

Pros: reduced brake dust, good bite
Vehicle: BMW

I hate the brake dust and went with the Zimmerman/Akebono kit, it's amazing how clean the wheels have been since installing them.

Pros: clean wheels, reduced dust
Cons: brake dust

I just switched from OEM (Brembo HH Sintered, I think) pads to Galfer HH Sintered pads. I forgot to scotchbrite the discs and I think I glazed everything up during bedding-in process. I used scotchbrite like mad on the discs and sanded the pads with 220 grit until they were dull like when new, but the brakes seem to have the same behavior - heavy brakes test after 10 mile bed-in ride, the brakes plateau without getting to ABS trigger unless I squeeze like a motherfucker. The previous pads I could stand up on the front wheel with one or two fingers, so I feel like I've done something wrong.

Cons: brakes plateau, ABS trigger
