What is this "break pads" and "break discs" you talk about? What is it that they break, and why would you want to put something that breaks onto your car? I know of brake discs and pads...

M3 disks agents only i think?

 

[shaunnorth]

i think u will pay soming like 3-4k per disk thats my guess

Oops sorry there my bad, brake discs.
Yes looks like agents only..

OEM discs are about R1500 each, so not too bad.
OEM Pads are Jurid. They nice and soft and quiet. But lack performance and make alot of dust.
I run Ferodo DS2500's but i think the cons will outweigh the pros for most.

I also run Ferodo DS25000's best pad i have used to date on my bmw

no no no... PM freerider and order EBC redstuff pads. They squeak for the first 500k's or so but they have awesome stopping power and they are very low dust...

Changed my brakes and pads this weekend (Ate), so far so good.

No squeaks and big difference in stopping power... :thumb:

 

[4u2nv]

Jiggy did you change it on the M3?
Where did you buy the Discs from? and what price?
