I already had another thread going on my brake situation but look what I found on NAmotorwerks' website. Its a performance brake package and you can choose the rotors you want. If I am reading this right you get all 4 pads, all 4 rotors and the fluid that is required to change the brakes. It turns out I need all new rotors and all new pads, but I am going for a second opinion tomorrow. Also I am missing the clip on my passenger side brake pad....yea I dont know how that happened. But if I need all 4 brakes redone this is what im getting. What do you guys think? Starting price $245.95 http://www.namotorwerks.com/products...ion.php/II=498 I also figure this could help anyone else out who are looking for new brakes. So good deal or no? __________________ my new world | | | 10-04-2006, 05:11 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Florida Posts: 1,595 | It's actually $270.95 cause the 318ti is an extra $25. | | | 10-04-2006, 05:22 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Tampa, FL Posts: 677 | lol thats why I said starting, but regardless is that not a good deal? __________________ my new world | | | 10-04-2006, 07:44 AM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: state college, pa Posts: 3,431 | In the end comes out to $300. I think you can actually get it done cheaper than that. Are your brake light sensors on? If not, you don't need new ones. When you put it all back together, make sure the lug bolts are tightened to spec. Overtightening can mess up your rotors pretty quick if the hat is overtightened or tightened unevenly. __________________ I scream, you scream, we all scream for ZOMBIES. | | | 10-04-2006, 01:04 PM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | Do you really need rear rotors too? __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 10-04-2006, 04:09 PM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2003 Location: Marion, IA Posts: 388 | That sounds reasonable, I think I paid $40 each for front rotors (OE Brembos from Tire Rack), $50 each for rear rotors (OE from BMW), $80 for front pads and $60 for rear pads (Hawk HPS from Tire Rack) + $10 or $12 for each sensor wire (there are 2). Total was about $350 + shipping on the Rotors and Brake pads. Then I had to buy some brake fluid locally. It looks like similar equipement is just under $300 from them + $44 shipping. However, if you don't really need everything just buy individual parts. | | | 10-04-2006, 05:57 PM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: Port St. Johns, Florida Posts: 2,242 | Quote: Originally Posted by Viper3812 It's actually $270.95 cause the 318ti is an extra $25. | That's bunk. 318ti rotors vs 325i rotors are the same price in my Powerslot dealer's catalog. You just have to note it's the Ti setup for the solids. you do not see a differance in price til you go to the M3 rotors for the e36. | | | 10-04-2006, 06:00 PM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Portland Or Posts: 2,666 | Replacing rotors is a simple decision. Measure thickness, if within .060in of min thickness then replace. I never turn rotors unless they have damage. Or grooving thats grossly bad. Especially on a track car, they bed in best if either the pad or the rotor is used. Just slam the new pads in and bleed them. BTW when you compress the caliper open the bleed screws, so the old fluid goes in a catch bottle and not back up into the brake system.

Note: OE as in genuine BMW parts. It is very difficult to compare rotor prices since there are different manufacturers. OE and OEM are not the same. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
