my 99 M sport has 11.3" diameter rotors. I'd recommend using an OEM rotor, as slotted and drilled reduce the amount of rotor the pad can grab, and also reduce the integrity of the rotors. Just did the swap w/ Brembo OEMs and EBC green Stuff pads. Apart from the fact that I introduced air into my lines, Everything is awesome.

i have hawk pads and UUC SS brake lines on my ti and my mothers 330 zhp and couldn't be happier. as well as UUC rotors. the only thing is the ceramic pads can be noise if not set properly, just follow the directions and they should be good to go. also if you us the ceramic pads on used rotors they while squeak.

thanks for the reply and straight answer!!

i was originally looking at the brembos but was gonna go with hawk hps pads. being an oem part i should not have to touch my calipers then? arethey the same diameter front and back?

any links to where the cheapest place to get them??

many thanks.

I just bought some pads today from raceshopper.com. I didn't do a lowest price comparison, but they were much cheaper than the BMW specific aftermarket dealers and he had ti rear hp+ in stock, and ht10s in stock for my wilwood fsl calipers. Shipped same day so I have them for this weekend. Pretty good service.

Ebc turbo grooved and dimpled with ebc greenstuff pads...Iv used ebc on all my bmw's and they've always been awesome...Ebc will be introducing the disc that fit the 318ti within the next few weeks (they already have em i the states) oem sizes for the uk are:
front: 286 x 22
rear: 272 x 10

Might change i spose if u dont have vented fronts as above are for my Ti with vents

Ive been getting some steering shimmy while braking recently, so I just ordered a set of EBC Ultimax rotors (vented) and Redstuff pads.

I'll let you know how they are.
Hopefully as awesome as my Porterfields were. (Again, warped rotors )
