No complaints about the Brembo's on my car, on the second set now. Previously used Mintex.
What I've discovered is that the design of the OEM rotors are BMW 2-piece brake rotors with iron friction ring with a lightweight aluminum rotor hat. This design , to me, has flaws and is prone to excessive heat and warps rather quickly. I've had the same problem repeatedly. I switched to Zimmerman one-piece cast iron rotors with OEM pads, and I've driven very hard, and it hasn't happened ever again.
I went with Zimmermann discs for their cost and have had no issues with them.
I've tried 3 brands of rotors just in one year of ownership in my e46. Do Zimmerman. They were my third brand I did. Other 2 warped so damn fast
I like my Zimmerman rotors and akebono pads.
Zimmerman rotors are pretty much the item of choice as far as I know, and I’ve always sworn by Hawk HPS pads if you’re street driving.
I just did my front and rears as well here are the fcp euro part numbers. (No brake dust, & feels amazing)
Zimmermann rotors fits like a glove.
I really hate to say this but you paid way too much for those front brake discs. But I don't understand why these pins were so stuck, mine were rusted just like yours but a couple of bangs with a hammer and steel pin and they just flew out.
I bought Brembo rotors from tirerack for my Toyota sienna. They warped shortly after.
