I just snagged some brembo pads rotors from fcp and saved myself almost 50% compared to dealer pricing AT MY COST, and the brembos are also an upgrade. Oh did I mention they have lifetime warranty?
if you're after brands of parts, the go to ones are Brembo, EBC, Pagid, ATE, Bosch, and TRW.
I recently bought brembo pads and rotors for my 330 e46 , got a great deal on them
I've been using Brembo pads for more than 300km after bedding. The package is super tidy. It came with an installation manual. The pad looks beautifully made. The materials feel nice. The Brembo is way more smoother than the OEM (Textar). Textar is more harsh, especially in traffic. I swapped the pads with Brembo and the problem of stopping smoothly went away instantly. It creates way less dust than Textar.
That would be Eicher disks and Brembo pads.
I'm in the UK and just got a good deal on Brembo disks and pads which I think are pretty good. Definitely avoid own brand stuff from parts stores. The Honda disks and pads are really good but a lot more than the Brembos cost. I also got a remanufactured genuine Nissin caliper which was remanufactured by Bendix for less than 1/3 cost of a new one.
I use brembo pads from ecstuning.com , dont buy parts on amazon or from china when you have a much better source available. I have ECS's own 2 piece rotors on front and brembo rotors on rear, my braking is really powerful and has lasted a long time despite what people say about ceramic pads and drilled/slotted rotors
I have the R56S brakes on my R53, and I've had Brembo ceramic pads and cross-drilled rotors since I installed the calipers a little over a year ago. I'd recommend the pads, although I can't comment on how much they dust, because I have white wheels and any dust on them seems like a lot. The drilled rotors look awesome and perform really well, but my issue is that they have slightly warped since I put them on last year. If you decide to go the Brembo route, I'd probably recommend doing the slotted rotors instead of the drilled to prevent the warping.
Mintex is a step below the OEM Jurid/ATE/TRW pads in terms of friction coefficient. Mintex is an upgrade when it comes to dust. Right now, running Akebono Euro Ceramics... I won't come to my verdict until winter.
Driving home today, and I had to brake HARD to avoid a collision, the fade was awful - the pedal went straight to the floor - no ABS activation, NOTHING... Got home and the fronts are SMOKING, and the rears are completely toast - I mean GONE - there is almost NO friction material left, and a PILE of it on my wheels... These had seen NO track usage, and NO abuse in the last thousand miles... thanks a lot MINTEX - you've made an angry customer for life...
