Brake pads OEM BMW or Hawk Performance
centric cryo rotors with hawk gt 5.0 pads, last forever no fade during hard street driving
Rotors and brake pads set you back about 3k every 3 years. Very easy to replace on your own as well.
Good brake pads 250 and 30 minutes of work.
For me, this car is all about the brakes in terms of gaining lap time. You need to really trail hard into and during the corner and of course it’s a rocket after that.
i run dedicated track pads, HAWK HP+ . they are loud and filthy but perform phenomenally well for my skill level.
From brakes have been solid
I have used HPS 5.0 for a long time now. They do dust a decent amount.
I really like my hawk er1’s. They work whether they’re cold or hot. I daily drive my rx8 during the summer, and drive to track days and autoX. They are squeaky and pretty dusty
I changed out the oem and ran Hawks for a while, braking distance wan't much difference but the brake dust was terrible, Rims where dirty all of the time.
Hawk 5.0 were squeaky as hell.
