hey i need some suggestions on what brake pads to replace my old ones. My BMW guy says to go with original bmw in order to save my rotors. I hear that ceramic are not that great and can damage rotors...any suggestion for a good all round brake pad for wet and dry condtions would be appriciated. __________________

I'm not sure which brand to tell you, but I'd say try to find low dust pads, bavauto sells a couple of different brands, I was thinking of getting Pagid myself a while ago | | | | | 08-12-2008, 02:11 AM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: Memphis, Tn Posts: 1,299 |
Pagid brake pads are good. I am going to be changing my pads soon and when i do i am replacing them with a set of Pagid. __________________

Pagid is an OEM supplier and the pads they sell aftermarket do improve the dust quite a bit. Very tame on the hardness scale, no squeal, affordable. __________________

Both the EBC and the Hawk pads have pretty low dust compared to OEM. | | | | | 08-12-2008, 05:10 PM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: The Netherlands Posts: 188 |
Jurid pads are also OEM and good! | | | | | 08-13-2008, 01:15 AM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: LA, Bellflower, CA Posts: 3,613 |

I would suggest go with the EBC Red stuff for a new brake pad. Mine have been good. Don't have lots of dust so far. __________________ Must see: Autopartswareshouse.com | | | | | 09-01-2008, 05:35 AM | #11 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Florida Posts: 1,595 |
I have been running PBR Ceramics on mine for over a year. Great pads and low low dust. | | | | |
