I switched to duralast rotors and power stop pads. I wanna say z26. But overall im happy. I just drive, no track. Car still stops good and less brake dust and cost less then OE.
In my opinion, the best stock replacement brakes you can get are Akebono Pro ACT ceramic pads and Advics rotors.
I used the powerstop z26 with mine. Work great, less expensive than original equipment.
You have a Performance Pack car. The wheels are a dead giveaway. Those Brembos are stock. I ended up going with Power Stop Z26's on mine.
Powerstop Z26 pads are pretty good for the price. G-Loc GS-1s are nice for street use. Both are low dust.
I’ve gone with ceramic pads on my cars. Minimal brake dust, low brake fade, quiet.
I just installed powerstop ceramic pads and blank rotors. Similar stopping power to oem but way less brake dust.
I went with the akebono pads with Zimmerman coated rotors (semi floating) from FCP on my 17’ 340i with msport/ track handling package. so far so good with the pads. Very little dusting compared to the original ones. Only issue I ran into is the coated rotors and the bed in on the pads. I had to get them resurfaced at an auto shop since they had some extra runout.
Akebono will make a slight noise when you shift from drive to reverse to drive and vice versa as they are a tad smaller than the OEM.
Started sticking after only a couple months. Warranty was only 90 days.
