New front/rear brake discs for 335i? Need help!
I want to change my brake discs for something more "race" looking drilled & slotted discs.
What are the best discs available for 335i? and should I also change OEM brake pads for better ones? btw. when I change the brake discs and pads to something non-oem will that make my brakes sound worse or will the sound be same?

+1000 i had those front and back and were good. you also get the inside of the rotor in black which looks nice compaired to the rusty oem ones.

I like the dba 5000 two-piece rotor, slotted. Drilled may look cool, but if freude am fahren is your motto, stick to slotted.

I want to change my rotors but I dont want to raise the braking noise when comparing to oem so should I first change the oem rotors to Stoptech drilled rotos?

If you find the stoptechs a bit too pricey. We carry the Frenetik premium line of replacement rotors which offer a your custom choice of cross drilling/slotted/dimpled and color finishes as well.

BTW and just to avoid confusion, I'm not talking about any squealing or something similar. When the CC pads are installed correctly, there shouldn't be any such squealing at all. I have them on for some thousands of km now, and even in extreme cold (-15 degrees Celsius) there was no squeal. Alpina_B3_Lux

I know this is an old thread, but still pertinent. Is anyone still using the Stoptech rotors? How have they held up? Are they made in China like a lot of the aftermarket rotors? Any problems with warpage?

Ive been researching the same thing lately and stop tech seems to be whatever one is saying. If i find anything different ill let you know but about 80% led that way, forum wise.

I am using them currently. Just installed them 2 months ago. They work great and look great too. I didn't buy CC pads at first and went with some pads from ebay and they squeeeeled like shit. After switching to better pads i hear no noise and the stopping power i sclearly better than stock
