Brake pads STOPTECH or OEM BMW
I'm partial to StopTech Sports
Pros: preferred choice
On a 428 both lower control forward arms including labor I believe $320 to $350
Brake pads brake, w e a r sensor and I believe both speed sensors under $400 no rotors were replaced.
Pros: regular mechanic, no inflated prices
Vehicle:
BMW
Parts cost about 500$ for front and rear brakes if do yourself.
Pros: save money, DIY possible
Cons: special tools needed
Vehicle:
BMW
Stoptech sports are the best dual use pad I’ve used…they’re great for fast street driving and they last.
Pros: great for fast driving, they last
It has new brakes, oil pan gasket, VCG, new radiator, hoses, fan, fan clutch, water pump and a few other things I’m forgetting.
Pros: new parts installed
Vehicle:
BMW
I ended up buying stoptech all around and they lsst a twice longer and have a better bite for street use.
Pros: last longer, better bite
Did brake rotors and pads myself parts about 400-500$. Brakes never wore out either they just warped.
Pros: DIY possible
Cons: warped easily
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 240000 km
OEM BMW Performance. Can’t recommend the brake pads though, dusty as hell. I had Hawk HPS5.0 pads before, those performed better than the OE pads with the added bonus of being very low dust.
Pros: low dust, better performance
Cons: dusty
Vehicle:
BMW
I installed Stop Techs in my 2016 WRX at around 10,000kms. Didn't notice much difference. Hated them, squeked a bit when new. But they left brown dust on my nice clean gold rims and I hated that. Swapped the stockers back in and again didn't notice much difference in stopping, maybe i had to push slightly more to come to a stop. But so glad I don't have shit coloured brown front rims.
Cons: squealing, brown dust
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 10000 km
As someone else mentioned, the rear brakes are tiny and even running Pagid RS29 race pads, the rears were 3mm more worn than the front after just one track day.
Cons: small rear brakes
