335 brake options

[h4tch3t]

Hi all,

Brake pad replacement is due in a couple of days.
I've looked at options...

BMW Cresta - R2800 for pads replacement only
Safety Brake & Clutch - R1900 for pads replacement only (ex VAT)
DIY - Brake pads R1680 + Brake sensors (R???)

I'm waiting for other quotes to come in. Does anyone have any other options? Car is out of plan, so looking for a repeatable and reliable spot to have these kind of services done. Either close to Cresta or Centurion.

PS: I could be swayed into brake upgrades if the price is right? So if there are aftermarket guys on here with some good deals, please feel free to shout.

Powerbrake disc and pad combo..

powerbrake only has an offering for the front though...I got quoted R3637 for discs only, pads were an additional cost.

I did a ton of research on brake options available for the 335, I settled on importing 4 drilled and slotted discs from the states and matching them up with OEM (Pagid/Textar) pads, the reason for going oem is the initial bite and light application of the brakes will have much more feel/feedback than any of the ceramic offerings out there. also I don't need to sustain high braking for laps at a time, I just want a little better than stock...

PAGID and TEXTAR are your best options....

From which company in the states did you order your rotors from?
And where are you getting the pads from?
