Brake Performance rotors

[Ehwnnc]

Has anyone used these on a 135i? I know of a few guys that have 800hp+ cobras running them and they all like them but im not sure how they are for our cars. The price is hard to beat and they seem like good quality

As a general rule, there is very little to be gained with rotors (of a given size). They are, for the most part, chunks of iron.

Stick to decent brand blanks (centric, etc.). You're not gaining anything significant with anything else.

You link doesn't work for me, but Centrics can be as cheap as $30-40 per corner, if you're willing to paint your own hats (slightly more for pre-coated hats). That's as cheap as it gets.

I can get BMW rotors at cost but for the price these seem like a decent upgrade, mainly for looks. I will be using cool carbon pads

I am using front and rear BMW Performance rotors, Hard Braking titanium shims, F30 brake cooling ducts and Cool Carbons pads all around. Brilliant setup and not too expensive either. No noise, 1/10th the dust of OEM and amazing stopping power when heated up.

Glad to hear that review! I have those exact parts sitting in my garage + some SS brake lines, castrol SRF and the performance calipers. They've been sitting there for like >8 months because I've never gotten around to doing the install

Maybe I should just see how much it costs to pay someone to do it...
