    Good pad and stock rotor set up suggestions...

    So I'm looking to get some better pads and possible get some cross drilled/slotted rotors.

    I was just curious as to what everyone recommends and who makes stock size rotors for e30's.

    Thanks

            Hawk HPS personally, but either pad is very good.

                  My favorite setup:

                  Plain rotor blanks
                  Hawk HP+ Pads

                  Dusty, can play music with the brake squeal, but oh my god they stop right the eff now. If that's a little much, go with the HPS pads and plain rotors...shouldn't be too expensive. For good Hawk (and a few others) prices, check out raceshopper.com

                      My bro used to like the Pagid orange in his hot 951 until he outgrew them (bigger turbo...) and went to Porterfield R4.

                          Pagid, Axxis, ATE pads along with many others are second rate for BMW.

                            do the Hawk HPS pads squeal? what about break dust? I only have a stock m20b20 engine so I really don't need incredible stopping force
