I have their Z4m brake kit that comes with these rotors and they are fantastic. super light , no warping ever and reasonable durability even using a full race pad on a supercharged Z4M driven by a crazy man.

I'm torn. Would love to do the full BBK but am hoping the pf08's I'm running now, along with these rotors will be a great setup.

So no one is running these with stock calipers?

The PFC rotors with 08's and stock calipers will be a solid setup . The only thing you are losing is the feel and modulation of the brake kit and obviously part of weight savings . I think you will be happy .

So I ordered these rotors and they will be here next week. Also picked up the pfc z-rated pads to swap with the pf08 for when off track. Couldn't bare the squeal on the street.

Also have vibra technics mounts and rogue trans mounts getting installed at the same time, so car may be in the shop for awhile.

Will post a review if anyone is interested.

The PFC rotors are true race equipment . High quality , extremely light weight , and thus are more expensive than other options. Fantastic rotors, can't say enough of how good they perform with PFC pads .

Can't wait to get these installed. Have the motor and trans mounts going in too.

Got so excited I even ordered APR Wing and Splitter.

Mod list is getting shorter, but receipt stack is getting taller.
