While I’m waiting for some caliper rebuild parts I’ve been browsing for rotors and pads.

Since I only drive my E91 on weekends, I’m looking for a decent setup for street only.

Right now, I see that I can get EBC slotted rotors for the same price as Zimmerman blanks. Anyone use the EBC rotors before? And since the rotors could potentially be slotted, would going with a green stuff organic pad be good to not wear the rotor like a ceramic might? Or do I still go ceramic for better pad life? I’m not worried about dust since I wash the wheels every week.

What other combos do you guys run on the street?

Good rotors.
I had green pads and red on other cars. Good product. Have yellow on 328 for track purposes, also good.
Personally I would go blank rotors and red stuff. But I think regular ATE pads are in same category, definitely more quality consistency.

I've used green stuff on a few cars years ago and found them poor. I've used yellow stuff on both previous and my current car and they seem to work well

EBC Greenstuff is HUGE improvement on car like my Toyota Sienna. I had them.
On BMW E90, they are IMO step down from ATE, Textar and Jurid. I use on E90 strictly these pads except on track.
