Installed some Powerstop z23's today on all 4 corners and bedded them in. I'll keep this updated as time goes on.
-installation was simple, I saw something about the sensors not fitting in this thread, but all I did was use a screwdriver and a hammer to tap them in gently and that worked perfectly. -initial impressions are great, very quiet and have a very good feel to them after the bedding in, the stock pads were louder especially the front drivers side even after I took them out and lubed them up a few weeks ago(worst when cold) -can't really make a conclusive judgement about dust yet as it's only been maybe 10 miles, but that's the main reason why I bought these pads so I will be watching closely. |

M Performance BBK on m235iX here. Installed M2/M3 standard front brake pads (oem p/n 34112284969) 2 days ago. Kind of unfortunately, swapped one brand of steel brake lines for another at the same time. Only made about 150 miles with the new pads but it seems the braking is firmer, better initial bite and overall than with the stock M-Perf pads. Not sure if a different brand of brake lines alone could account for the change.
Can someone independently confirm if the M2/M3 pads really make a difference? Or, I am just seeing/feeling things? |

which ones would you guys recommend? No track days whatsoever. 80% so daily driving and 10% late night "hoon" and 10% some long windy roads on weekends.

Powerstop z23 update

I don't plan to really push these pads as most roads around are straight and don't really punish the pads, but if I were to ever track it I would definitely switch these out for something a little more appropriate. I would definitely recommend these pads for normal every day driving. |

Anyone heard of Bremtec Evolve Hybrid-Carbon Performance Brake Pads? They are pretty pricey!! But it's not on the list.
Or ENDLESS MX72 Pads are performance? That's also not on the list. and a mate who drives a 1M suggested project MU

I have a set (F/R) of Pagid RS29 pads for sale. Plenty of life left in them. I'd say 85% left.
Sold the car. Needs these out of my garage. PM me if interested.

Anyone have any experience with R1 Concepts eLine rotors with Hawk HPS 5.0s? Planning on changing out my rear soon and love the look of the black slotted rotors on the R1s but on the fence whether to go for Zimmermanns instead. I never track, 100% daily, but I do drive pretty aggressive/spiritedly. Any suggestions?

Hey guys, just thought I would drop my two cents in here.
I’m currently running ferodo DS 2500 racing pads. And they work fantasic. I haven’t had the time to take them to the track yet. But daily driving compliance is amazing. Absolutely no noise, and much less dust and OEM. I’m also running a stop tech slotted rotors in front. Oem in rear.

Hawk DTC-70, front & rear, street & track. They squeak loudly on the street.
I put them on as part of getting the car ready for track events. They'll come off after the last event of the season, and the OEMs will go back on.

I'm quite regular at the Nurburgring and both EBC and DS 2500 are slated on all cars.
DS 2500 pads if you use aftermarket oem equivalent discs with them they're notorious to warping the discs. XP8 are brilliant pads but like others have mentioned they're really noisy on the street and would lead you into believing you have brake issues. The best pads I've used are Dixcel RA Type they're absolutely brilliant and go on forever. They've been fine on the road also not loud or intrusive, I haven't used them on my BMW only my Megane MK3 Cup. |

Anyone try the akenbo euro 1880? I just got them along with dimpled and slotted rotors.
I am still working on the breaks as the rotor hat bolts have been a bitch. Each bolt has taken 1.5 hours. I've used pb blaster, liquid wrench, a torch, and a heavy duty impact screw driver and have been struggling the whole time. Also could someone take a picture of their brake caliper showing the correct retainer clip orientation. They can go in either way, I'm 99% sure I've got it in the correct way now, but now I am paranoid. |

I just bought from TOP GEAR one of our sponsors, the slotted/drilled stoptech rotors and not the dimpled slotted OEM ones i have been using in the past. Why? $600 for all 4 vs $1100. Im not worried as they are reputable.
Will let ppl know how they go with a new set of EBC yellow and fresh squeezed motul 600.

Have now ordered a set of PFC08s and will swap between them for track and stock for the street, which is what I should have done in the first place. |
