The stock brakes work well for me. I have 15" wheels and don't have a problem. Slotted and drilled rotors are strength compromised and are used to discipate brake gases while under HEAVY loads. For normal driving they have no value. While the 750 brakes are a great addition, I can't find anything wrong with my stock brakes....or anything to justify the $1000 or so dollars to swap perfectly good brakes. If you continue to warp rotors may I suggest a couple of things:
Start slowing down earlier, Do not super cool hot brakes with water, and buy rotors that have a lifetime warranty on them. This way you can perpetually replace them for free. John



But if you're running 15" wheels or better consider the big brake upgrade for you e28.

Which rotors should I buy and from where. OEM or slotted?, I've heard bad things about cross-drill on other cars. What are you using?

I'm considering upgrading to 750 mounts, capliers, and rotors next year.

Thanks
