Best bang for my buck for Brakes?
Hey guys,
I am sure this has already been answered before, but I am stuck at work after 14 hours and have a headache and don't feel like searching... forgive me... What would be the best bang for my buck, brakes for a bmw 328i convertible? I don't drive on the track a lot.. but I am definitely not a slow driver.. Any suggestions? Thanks and have a good one.

Centric rotors and Akebono dustless pads.

Centric premium rotors are the best 'blanks' out there IMO.
Zimmerman rotors are also good. Pads are more subjective, many people hate brake dust so they just a ceramic pad... I obviously had dust too, but I like the way the OEM pads feel and bite, so I used OEM textar pads when I did my brakes. Many decent pads out there depending on what you want.

I used centric rotors with akebono pads and after 2 years everything still looked new. No dust and good braking.

BMW's blank rotors are nothing special. If you want shorter stopping distances you with want a more aggressive pad... I know Hawk and Stoptech both make good pads for aggressive driving and/or tracking... OEM pads are not track worthy.
