Doing rear brakes, need input.

[M3TA5IN]

Hey guys. I need to do my rear rotors and pads. I would like to go with ceramic pads.

Any advise on readily available ceramic pads? What do you guys recommend? I was looking at the Hawk HP ceramic pads that tirerack has.

Any advise on rotors?

These will be for the 330 and I do about 40k miles a year. I drive really hard and plan to get the 330 on the track a couple weekends this year.

Thanks for input.

Curious to see input here as I will need to replace my brakes and rotors in the near future.

Don't use ceramics on the track, they will fade very quickly.

Yeah, I use ceramics from Ray for my everyday stopping needs. Love the lack of brake dust, but I wouldn't recommend for the track.

Copy that, anyone use the Axxis Ultimate pads?

Ok this is what I have sitting in my cart right now at Turner...

ATE Super Blue
Turner Slotted rotors
Hawk HPS Street Brake Pads


Meh?

Edit: changed to the slotted rotors and not slotted/drilled

Avoid Cross & Slotted for track days. I would just choose slotted only. HPS street pads will dust alot and aren't very good at the track IMO. But if you arent doing it alot, I would stay with the HPS streets otherwise, HP+ if you are a little more serious.

Cool thanks, I'll change to just the slotted.

I figured for $15 more why not, but thanks for the input.

Any other recommendations on pads outside of hawk?

Oh and FYI, remember these are the rears and when I say I will track it. Probably 1 or 2 times a year. The M3 is the dedicated track car.

If you are just tracking 1-2 times a year, I would just say OEM pads.

or Bosch QuietCast (and I have Hawk HPS installed on mine)
