    Let's talk about upgrading brakes (OEM)

    I am looking to upgrade my front and rear brake pads, rotors, and lines...

    I am using the car mainly to drift, and I DO NOT want to do a BBK. From what I have read is that the stock calipers are good enough, I just want to upgrade the stock-ish parts.

    In my head, I am thinking...

    -Hawk HPS Front Pads
    -___________ Rotors
    -___________ Stainless Steel Brake Lines
    -___________ Rear Pads

    Help me! I want to upgrade, I just don't know whats the best bang for the buck.
    I got a fender roller now! LMK if you need me to roll your fenders or want to rent the tool from me locally.

    Hawk HPS pads front and rear, plain rotors, and SS lines from Bimmerworld or Zechausen. Also replace the guide bolt bushings if you have ATE calipers.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      Please tell me more about these guide bolt bushings. Got a part #?

        There you go. Those are on backorder, but now you know what they are and how much they go for.

          If you are going drifting primarily, wouldn't you want a more race-ready compound than the HPS pads? Or do you not get the pads significantly up to temperature for the HP+/HT-10/etc type pads?

            You, sir, overestimate drifting. It's more like AX than RR, so yeah, not enough temp.
