X-drilled brakes...

What do you guy think of these rotors? Im considering a full set front/rear and ebc greenstuff pads.

The general concensus here is that they aren't worth it. Not only are they prone to cracking (especially if they aren't cast), but for the price, there are better options.

Why not look into ATE Powerslots for the front and OEM for the back with the greenstuffs. Price for the powerslots are close to stock, and you'll get better braking without a large hit to your wallet or the risk of cracking.

Thanks for saving me an expensive and probably dangerous waste of money :D I have ATE powerslots right now with Mintex Pads. Im just trying to get a feeler on the BMP ones. The Pep Boys near my house sells EBC pads and EBC rotors. The EBC ones are slotted and Dimpled instead of X-drilled and Slotted. The EBC rotors are $139 front/$109 rear. Pads are $59 front/$39 rear. I might just go with those what do you guys think?

Slotted and "dimpled"? I know that the point of the cross-drilled ones are for venting, but I can't imagine what the purpose of the dimples is.

Just go OE all around. I can guarantee you that you won't feel a difference and it's cheaper. Unless you are just getting it for the bling,

[B2ThaZiZza]

well the dimples are supposed to work like x-drilling without the danger of cracking beacuse of the way they where drilled. I think that they would look sick behind my BBS Lm Replicas and my Volk Te37s. I maybe going for bling but EBC is a respectable company and i just wanna give em a try. I've used ATE powerdiscs on my car ever since i got it and i also used ATE rotors on my e28 as well. Just wanna see what else works good for me. :)

man, it is always a good idea to take away surface area on a rotor.
Go OEM. You will brake better.
Dont buy into this "x-drilled" horseshit.

I have Balo OE replacements and they kick ass :) $37/each at bimmerparts.com . Get stock stuff. You wont be able to tell a difference.

Add another for OEM. All the slotting *might* do is clean the pads off for the first braking when wet/dirty when pulling out of a parking spot. I guess they do serve as a handy wear indicator.

the best brakes I've had on my E30 were dealer installed oem brakes... Aftermarket stuff just isn't as good. Change the fluid every year or two and use stailness lines and you'll be very happy.

If you get rotors from the dealer, they have a 2yr warranty. Most e30 rotors will warp before 2 years. Take em back and get new ones! Perpetual free rotors!!

BBS Lm Replicas

You have BBS RE replicas, if I recall.
