great thanks fellas! this will be my first brake job on the car. aside from ordering the brake pads and rotors. What else should I look out for? I know the PO replaced the calipers and flush the fluidds already. Just want to make sure that my car won't remain on jack stands because I'm missing tiny parts here and there

yeah they will dust. it's not horrible or anything but I'm with you - I want my brakes to work, if I have to clean the wheels it's worth having brakes that will actually stop the car.
order a couple set screws for the rotors (they're cheap) and use copper anti-seize on the threads. put them in finger tight. people put them in bare and wrench them down as hard as they can and then wonder why they rust in place and can't be removed without a drill. using anti-seize I haven't even needed to replace the set screws in about 6 years.

also by screws, are you refering to these:# 3?

I'd put Balo up there with Zimmerman. Frankly the brand isn't as important as the production batch any more and there's no way to distinguish that.

textar pads (what you get when you goto the stealership) are the stock pads you want for street driving, jurid also good OEM but i find textar slightly less dust. both bite well when cold which is important.89 E30 325is Lachs Silber - currently M20B31, M20B33 in the works, stroked to the hilt...
