Brake disc/rotor

[crombie_sg]

Hi all shifus, my e60 523 lci brake disc going up lorry. I'm looking to replace it, both front and back. Would love bbk if I have budget, but then it's unlikely so. Should I stick with stock replacement or go with some OEM equipment? I'm looking at disc replacement only. Appreciate any inputs from shifus on this. Thank you.

You may want to check out oem replacement cross drilled rotors from Eng Soon.
I suppose you will replace disc with pad.

Re: Brake disc/rotor

if your primary objective for BBK is for cosmetic look.... can't help u there... but if your objective is for better braking... I suggest replace with stock disc and at same time ....change your pads to EBC Green-stuff.

It was suggested by my ws when I was looking for cheap alternative for more effective braking with better bite. I have been on this setup for about 4 months now.... satisfied with the result consider the low investment.

The noticeable results are much better bite compared to stock pads when braking.... most obvious when you try e-braking at redlight ; shorter braking distance... and less brake-dust. Apparently, these green stuff pads also cause less wear on your rotors/discs.

The trade-off is some light screeching from time to time especially at low speed. In my case, the screeching has totally disappeared now.... but i suspect this may difffer from car to car.

Rather than changing brake pad, i would suggest change to Brembo rotor. On high speed braking, it is very effective.

Cross Drilled - Look nice and expensive
Slotted - Better heat dissipation but doesnt look so nice
Stock - Cheapest of 3

I changed the stock disc to the BMW Performance Rotor 2 years ago at MA, it comes together with the new brake pads... of course the price is already inclusive.

Re: Brake disc/rotor

I upgraded my F10 520i to the 650i brakes with 378mm rotor. Can pm price for brembo rotors and pads?

Best brake for buck too

Re: Brake disc/rotor

650 is a 2 ton GT with 400+ hp.

520 is a 1.5 ton saloon with 180+hp.

Wouldn't it be a overkill?

Re: Brake disc/rotor

Not sure it can be considered to be overkill, other aftermarket BBK am sure have even better braking power. These aftermarket ones too ex, that's why I went for the 650i upgrade bought from another forummer.

Re: Brake disc/rotor

Front brake rotor and pads wearing off soon. Any recommendations on what to change? Oem or aftermarket? Driving 525i

Original is the best.

 

[Mransellee]

Stick to Original... I have bad experience with Hella Pagid. Squeals very badly.
