2017 BMW M240i F22 Brakes(rotors and pads)

I need rear brake pads and rotors and was wondering if anyone had any advice for the best kits to pick. I currently have two that I have been looking at.

The first is a brembo kit

The second is an akebono kit

Was just wondering about past experiences anyone has had with either brands and if you would recommend one over the other. I’ve heard good about both brands. Thanks

Your car came with Brembo brakes. Stick with Brembo.

Your car has a 2pc alu hat rotor. You want that one. FPC has zimmerman with dimples.
I really like performance friction "Z" pads.
Consider stainless brake lines while you are in there.

I ended up going with some brembos. Not the ones I posted in my original post but a different set I found on bimmers.com. They’re slotted and drilled and I think they’ll be great.
