Need new pads/rotos...

[s8n]

For the 325 Ti. Can anyone tell me which ones I need/best place to buy? I assume the 325 CI and 325 Ti are the same in the wheels/brakes/rotors department?

I have considered a M3 swap, is it possible? I hear the rotors are a straight swap?

Get some DBA 5000 series rotors. They're not that expensive and they're just as good as the OEM M3 rotors. They also can be machined instead of being replaced when they become worn.

Etez, do they make any horrible sound? Bolt straight up?

I've been quoted $119 plus gst per rotor for the stock ones. Any recommendations for pads too to suit them? Low dust... general driving pads

LOL I just got a quote for DBA 5000 - $620 EACH ahhaha (not that expensive? They are more than genuine carrera 993 TT discs!!, I paid about $320 for them on my S3)

They cost me $300 for the fronts. But I think thats because I already have the necessary fittings for them. $119 for OEM Compact rotors or E46 M3 rotors? ( can't be M3 ones for that price). Just stick with OEM pads or try EBC green stuff, doesnt make much brake dust.

I'm not fitting M3 ones, as I believe you need new carriers and all sorts of stuff.. right?

These are standard 325 rotors.. Ill ask for some EBC green, heard they are good...

Would like M3 brakes, but think they are best for the front. I'm doing the rear at the moment so ill go all OEM

Thanks Etez

Not a problem. OEM set-up is enough for what you need!

Would recommend checking out ATE Powerdisc rotors as well. I have these on my E30 and find they go very well with the EBC Greenstuff pads. My 2c worth.
