What brakes to go with on a 2006 Z4M?

BAVAUTOLOVER · 08-06-2014, 02:45 PM

Hello. I was curious to ask everyone's opinion on what are their recommendations for brake pads and rotors for a 2006 M that will me tracked.I will keep the factory calipers. Also, how much better will they feel over factory? My factory ones feel amazing and really can stop the car quick. Thanks for the input. I'm seeing lots of good thing about Pagid RS29's.

Rotors, OEM or what Turner carries. Price being the deciding factor, and as long as their floating rotors.

Racing Brake makes a nice product, replaceable rotor rings, thicker, initial price point is higher, some difference in pad choices from OEM. Works with stock calipers.

Pads? What tires are you using and what's your skill level? Price considerations?

I use the Precision Friction -08 pads for the track. Work great for me.

Very popular option and good reviews.

OP, I have a full set of DTC60s, front and rear, new in box if you're interested. Good pad as well, and I'm willing to deal. Pm me if any interest.

If you want to sell your DTC60s quick and for decent price, you may want to try M3Forums.net. I sold my PFC-11 front, PFC-08 rear (the rears are designed for the DirectDrive or RacingBrake rear rotors) there for a decent price, and I had offers within a day of what I was asking for (I priced it too low).
