BMP Design, Bavarian Autosport, etc.

Drilled brake rotors will crack. Use at your own risk. They also chew up pads and create more dust as a result. They also reduce the effective swept area, so braking requires more pressure on the pads, further increasing wear/dust!

Best advise is to cool the stock rotors better. Get some turbine wheel covers for track use if you're cooking your brakes. Upgrade your pads on all 4 corners to Hawk HP Plus or comparable pad if you're a beginner/intermediate driver, Hawk Blue or HT-10 if you are advanced. Or just brake less and try to carry more speed to the apex.


Where can I find some Cross drilled brakes for my 93 M5.

thanks
Randy
