I use ATE powerdisc for my e39 with ceramic pads. ATE are oe for bmw, the powerdiscs are just a little nice extra touch.
My solution is to always use top of the line brake pads like PFC 11s or raybestos st43 and up.
The other thing I ended up doing is once I really started being able to push the car hard, I installed Porsche 911 993 air deflectors on the lower control arms and that increased airflow was just enough to let me get away with keeping the small brakes. This past weekend I was at VIR and I was getting up to 130 on the straights, even bumping up against the rev limiter in fifth before braking for roller coaster, and the brakes held up fine. That and $30 RockAuto centric rotors.
Ich hab auf meinem A3 schon beides drauf gehabt und ehrlich nimmt sich das kaum was. Allerdings hatte ich nicht die "normalen", sondern die PowerDisc von ATE mit der Endlosnut und von Brembo die Extra mit den Löchern. Hab mit beiden gute Erfahrungen gemacht, bin zwecks Optik aber auf die gelochten gewechselt. Natürlich hatte ich beide mit den jeweils passenden Belägen. Aber auch die coated von Brembo sind mMn völlig in Ordnung, entgegen der Meinung einiger, die meinen, dass die ständig krumm sind, denn bei meinem Bruder sind die auf seinem Astra J drauf - bisher auch keine Probleme, auch kein Quietschen übrigens, weil ich das hier auch gelesen habe.
Nimm das, was günstiger ist in aller Kürze, beides Brauchbar.
Wenn du auf Optik wert legst, kann ich dir nur ATE Ceramic ans Herz legen.
Die Scheiben sind beschichtet, d.h. die Töpfe setzen keinen Flugrost an und die Beläge produzieren deutlich weniger Bremsstaub. Kenne viele, die die fahren und hab die selber auch, kann ich nur weiterempfehlen. Nur hab ich meine vorderen Scheiben leider krumm gefahren, aber das kann mit jeder Marke passieren wenn man dumm ist oder Pech hat.
Rock auto it legit. The power stop bundle is nice. For my accord, I usually go with centric rotors and akebono brake pads.
Just got oem centric with ceramic pads for my 14 GS350.
Rock autos fine enough for brakes, personally I use the centric coated blanks, I run the hawk 5.0 pads, but for a DD I'd recomend factory pads or ceramic.
I previously ran project mu hc+ and Winmax W3 pads separately on the street for daily duty before. All of the brakes i mentioned were on blank rotors with the best rotors, in terms of price and corrosion resistance being the premium centric blank rotors.
Doesn’t really matter. But you’re better bet is slotted or blank. Drilled can crack under track day use. But that’s not really a problem for quality rotors. On our auto X Vett we used centric 120 smooth rotors.
Centric makes ones that are painted black. I clean them up with brake cleaner and tape off the pad contact area, then use engine enamel spray paint to add an additional coat. I’m up in New England and one winter will do this to rotors. I do the same when I have to replace calipers. Lasts at least 3-4 years In my experience
