I have r1concepts drilled/slotted rotors all way round with their brake pads. They havn't warped yet. Look good. Stop pretty well, I need to flush my brake fluid and bleed to really know. I would spend the money on better stuff though. I don't really trust them too much, but they havn't let me down. Tough call, if your on a budget then they are ok.

You'll want to be sure that adding such large, additional stopping power in the front doesn't acually degrade overall brake performance by upsetting the brake bias of the car. If you're not planning to upgrade the rears, you should definitely inquire about possible implications to overall system bias.

great you have chosen a 330i disc of 315mm

but a caliper set of 300 mm

youŽd be one unhappy camper when they came home fella

Those are the same (or were and I would bet still are) as Brembo slotted.

Theyre for 01+ E46's. Thus bigger size, the 99-00 E46's are smaller.
