Hello all-
After starting an earlier thread and learning the merits and pitfalls of cross-drilled rotors, I have conceded that OEM rotors are the ones for me.
Now, which OEM replacements? ATE, BALO, ZIMMERMAN and BREMBO all make OEM replacements, and I think ATE and BALO are actually OE brands.
Out of the lot, Brembo's are cheaper by about $15.. not a big deal... but are they all the same? any of them better? Brembo claims to use a high carbon content in the steel, but don't know if that makes for a better brake.
Will be using BMW OEM pads.
Thanks in advance, Ray
