    Would you use these on your car?

    Today at the U Pull I found a set of cross drilled and slotted rotors on a 88+ 318. They seemed to be in very good condition with just a little surface rust.

    First I need to find out for sure if these will even fit on my 87 325is. I think they will from the compatibility charts I've seen. I also want to know what you guys think about putting used brake components on my car.

    I'd like to save myself $80+ but I'm not sure if its worth it.

    used components never phase me. any idea of the manufacturer? that has a much bigger impact on me than the new/used debate. i great quality used part we get on my car much faster than a brand new cheap piece

        No I wasn't able to tell which brand they were but with a brake rotor is there that big of a difference?

            Do all e30s have the same size brake rotors?

                  I wouldn't care to use rotors with holes in them anyway.

                    Same goes for condoms. Ribs or slots are doable though.

                      If you are not planning on tracking the slotted rotors to shave times, then all you are doing is eating the pads up faster. Just use OEM

                        therefore, their value is much greater.

                          don't buy used brakes. calipers maybe, but rotors are so cheap anyway, just buy new.

                          and don't buy cross drilled stuff.

                              they're probably work/fit... don't be surprised if you have a vibration under braking though... would i take them? i guess i'd think about it.
