    Shout Out To Ray (AKA Smilez)

    Great brakes, great price. My car feels fantastic and quiet as a mouse!

    Thanks, Ray!

    Just the OEM rotors and pads. I don't do any aggressive driving so no need for slotted, drilled, etc.

    Car feels awesome! All I need now is the suspension components done and she will be as tight as a 19 year old figure skater.

    Congrats.

    I have never had to do a panic stop in the ZHP yet but I would assume we have pretty good stock brakes. It's a BMW after all.

    Ray is the real deal, I've bought 5-6 sets from him, have always done S&D rotors with ceramic pads, better on street performance than stock with a little bling to boot. And all for less than the price of OEM from the dealer, FTW.

    Yes, Ray is awesome. He responded to all my questions like a pro and set me up with top notch stuff (drilled). Price was awesome including sensors and blue stuff. Nothing wrong with these brakes and I put ~ 20k miles on them. Two thumbs up, I know where to get my next set.

    Running his brakes on my car as well. Cross drilled and slotted with ceramics I've been very happy with their performance.

    Ray is good people. Can't wait for my current brakes to wear out so I can go with EBC RedStuff and drilled rotors from Ray. Unfortunately, Ray doesn't have EBC pads, but I'll still get the rotors (and possibly SS lines) from him.

    Did all of you get Stop-tech pads? Or the posi-quiet?

    They are pretty good, but they could be better. I've had to panic stop (well, slow down really fast, not stop) on my ZHP, and it responded well. Saved me from wrecking my car.
