    You can breathe now....Newjack? NEWJACK!!!!
    They cannot add the rear brembo's to their catalogue. Here is what Kyle wrote:

    "We unfortunately, are unable to add these to the site as we are experiencing getting consistent rotors from our suppliers. We ordered a few from all over and got parts made in a few different countries including China and Italy. We are afraid the quality of these may be affected for this reason. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience on this matter."

    I don't know what ordering from all over means, but I am not going to dig any deeper into this. I will explore other options.
    Also, you will be tickled to know that I had my first bad experience with FCP recently... They sent me a windshield cowl with 6/7 clips broken, and completely forgot to send me eccentric camber washers I ordered. They have sent me new clips and washers since then, but using USPS first class. I complained lol

    "as we are experiencing getting consistent rotors from our suppliers"

    Kyle tried so hard to form a sentence there. His replies always sound so robotic, corporate and just plain awful. It's hard to tell sometimes if he's a real human or just some bad AI sending slow ass replies. Only took him 7 days to reply to an email.

    They don't care at all how things get shipped. I swear Ace Ventura works in their shipping department just kicking boxes around and throwing random shit in the orders. I'd bet they ship broken parts on purpose sometimes just to get the shipment sent out on time, or hope the person doesn't say anything. If they do it's free replacement so the customer just needs to send it back. Too bad that's a pain in the ass for the customer.

    Done with them.

    Decided to go for Zimmermann drilled rotors with akebono ceramic pads, stoptech SS lines. FCP had a pi day sale on zimmermann rotors today, that with 5% off code (PLA341), came out to be a pretty good deal. $427.35 for front and rear rotors, brake pads, and 2 new sensors. I'm not planning on tracking the car so yeah, the drilled rotors will be for the looks and MAYBE a little extra stopping power given the ceramic pads.

    I'm thinking of doing the same. Are there any other parts that need to be ordered for this, besides sensors?

    Maybe some antisqueal paste? If you want to upgrade your brake lines, now is the time to do it as well. If you are upgrading the brake lines, have some brake fluid handy because you will need to bleed the brakes again.

    Hey everyone, Im looking to buy new brake rotors and pads. While my car isn't a track car, my driving is pretty spirited and I do the occasional autocross so I'm looking for something a little better than stock that isn't a big brake. Rotor-wise I am thinking either the OEM BMW Brembo discs or Zimmerman (either normal or drilled). I can't imagine the drilled rotors having any real impact on the driving that I do, even in autocross. For the brake pads I see Hawk HPS pads frequently brought up. I also saw someone say they can start to squeal very loud. Anyone here have these? Anyone have any other recommendations?
