    Shoutout to Westside Bimmer

    I was in the market for new brakes. Found a company selling on E46F. Seemed a bit to good to be true so I researched and even went to their shop in Garden Grove. Here is what I ended up buying. Centric High Carbon Drilled/Slotted Rotors with Stoptech Street pads and wear sensors. Got some stoptech stainless lines from work too. Braking feel is PHENOMENAL and the front PZeros really have to work to keep up with the braking force. Also, I paid $350 Did I do good?

    And yes, it can get better than that.

    Sounds good. My experience with StopTech pads are....great stoppage, maximum dust on wheels.

    No bueno.

    Carbon,

    So was this the normal deal from them or a 'special' with an expiration? Reviews on Centric seem 'good 'nuff''. I'm certainly interested. What kinda deal did you work for the stainless lines?

    Ill get to that. I may know what you're getting at. The Centric part #'s are 125...This is because instead rotors that are drilled by stoptech at R1 and paying a premium, Westside buys centric blanks and drills themselves. Same process.

    You are not wrong. Dust is worse than before. I wish I knew what kind the old pads were. They are unmarked. Ill take the stoping power and feel over a little cleanliness.

    I have direct contact with them so you can pretty much get the price whenever. Its quite casual actually. I bought them through text and she sent me a paypal invoice. The stainless lines I only got for less because of a work discount that I still shouldn't have gotten
