    dude, almost all cars come with ABS, brakes, and brake pads...
    Even if you're new to E30's you should know this, why operate something that carries your life as well as others if you don't know how to maintain it?

    You seriously don't even need to go near slotted rotors. You cant get your e30 fast enough to see a difference and even if you could, you obviously shouldn't.

    Fail

          Ah yeah, you're right, but that was back in the day when they had cars that had no brakes. Man, those were some wild days, I'm not even sure how we slowed ourselves down. Oh and the optional steering, oh the optional steering was so nice to have; I had one that didn't have that option and I'd be damned if I didn't just drive off the road when I came into this one curve.

          Wow.

            Well the rotors are warped, n paying for OEM style rotors cost as much as slotted/drilled off ebay. But i want just slotted. N i never had a light that said "Brake lining" in my 240sx. So im sorry if i seem dum to u guys.

                the ebay slotted rotors are most likley crap


                but the solid vented rotors, they will last longer and you dont see them anyway

                    haha i met this kid in real life. stopped to help him with his broken down e30. he'd just gotten it and drove the shit out of it for 50 miles or something with no temp gauge and it seized up on him. popping the hood revealed the missing water pump belt and molten block. that was a 325e so i guess he's moved on. good luck buddy, sounds like you'll need it.

                      OMG! dude...

                      lennon just put your shit out there. I hope you're only like 15 or somthin and plan to gain a vast knowledge on the car... It may seem harsh but other r3vers will tell you worse than I...

                      Slotted disk wont do any good at all off ebay, they will warp and crack , then fall apart down the road especially if you try to autox them. Just a few hard stops and they are gone, not only that they'll eat the fuck out of your pads...

                      You don't need an old car.. unless you're willing to learn about the e30, leave it to somebody that cares and go buy a dumb-proof car with a warranty like a civic...

                        Sell the BMW and go back to your Nissan.

                                I was wondering when you'd put 1 and 1 together.
