Most people go with Bailo rotors and some kind of a carbon comp (carbon-Kevlar), or metalic pad. Pagid, PBR, Autoquip, etc. are all good pads. I've had Brembo rotors and Autoquip carbon pads on my car for 30k with no warp, no squeal, and no dust. many people have an opinion on this so that's my $.02.

Oh yeah, I have Earls stainless brake lines that work well. They give a nice stiff pedal. Also, ATE Super Blue brake fluid is great stuff, but any good DOT 3 or 4 fluid is fine.

Regards,
Ethan


Need to do my brakes.........front/rear rotors, pads, lines and fluid. Should I go with BMW rotors, or are any of the aftermarket rotors just as good. Budget does not allow for 750/540 rear rotor/caliper upgrade. Trying to avoid the usual warped rotor problem. Anyone had experience with aftermarket rotors/pads? I drive quickly, but do no track use.
Thanks, Roy.
