new aftermarket brake pads

michsu · 03-10-2008, 11:26 AM

Can someone help me find some good aftermarket brake pads for the 335i? I have looked around on these various topics , and they mentioned Hawk, Brembo, and Fardaro (something like that).. I saw some good ratings for the Hawk HPS and the Hawk HP Plus brake pads.. however, I don't see anyone selling them for the 335i.. Whenever I put it in their search field, the pads don't come up.. Thanks..

the stock brake pads are actually very good. the biggest downfall is the enormous amount of brake dust they throw. heard the axxis pads were pretty decent at minimizing dust without sacraficing stopping power.

even the stock rotors/calipers are good and provide excellent braking. just seems like a lot of people throw a ton of money on aftermarket brakes with little results.

i personally think most do it for asthetics more than anything. better places to spend money unless you spend 99% of your time on the track. anyways, just my 2cents..
