Help decide on drilled discs

[Pho3niX90]

Hey guys,

So was browsing ebay and saw this : http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-330-i-x...iter_Display:3.0L&hash=item5af1aabc65&vxp=mtr

and also this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/FRONT-REAR-...iter_Display:3.0L&hash=item2c6ea6a7a0&vxp=mtr

The price is excellent but not sure if I should buy those or just normal meyle discs.


Any suggestions?

cross drilled discs WILL crack sooner or later.. the ones that are actually drilled will crack sooner, the ones that are actually cast with the holes in like bmw performance discs, will crack later..

looks cool though.. :=):

And I used these braided lines.

I would trust the lines before disks and pads... then again i dont think i would buy any of this because I would not chance my safety on no name brand brake components...

Hel performance brake lines are actually very good qaulity. Theyve been making braided lines for bikes for many years! Its a brand you can trust!

The rotors and pads are "STOP TECH", I see alot of the guys in the states use them on the M3's.

The HEL ones are double the price, that isn't an issue would rather get them then, was just looking for red ones to make it more interesting.

HEL do also have colours but im not sure if they available in sa...

Was actually looking at those as well. But thought they might look terrible after a few stops, unless uou get black steel and they aren't painted?

those really dont look like stoptech discs.

stoptech have black hats

below is what a stoptech rotor generally looks like.

also, they are between $120 and $140 for each front. I dont see how they could sell front and rears and pads for $240

 

[moranor@axis]

the pads are made by Centric Stoptech does use some Centric pads... but the disks look very generic and thats what is bringing the price down...

I have never seen curved slots on stoptech disks and they are always painted black...

Speak to these guys in Benoni, they are very jacked. I was going to take my RS4 to them before I sold it,their prices are reasonable as well. They make their own discs and lines etc. on their premises.
And no, I am not affiliated to them in any way.

I see, did notice the black stoptech BBK ones. Just thought like all other companies that they make cheaper versions.

Thanks man, will give them a call tomorrow.

Unless you do track racing I would not waste money - BMW have specified rotors to suit what is required for your vehicle - then again if you like bling

Nobody can see them unless you take the wheel off.
