stoptech drilled rotors installed and question on fluid

did the rears first because they only had a few thousand left on them. will do the fronts in the next month or so even though they are not needed. just want them to match.

when i flush the fluid does it make that much of a difference to go with a high performance fluid? I do autocross and will probably do one or two HPDE soon.

Just go with ATE Super Blue. Then you're covered no matter what. When its time for a flush, switch to their Type 200 (its gold). Back and fourth between the two.

Tirerack its a 330i. Cost 250 shipped for rotors and stoptech pads. Fronts will be about 300. Trying to decide if i should do ss brake lines too... oh and plus sensors.

SS Brake lines can't hurt, especially if you use fluid that can stand the higher temps from track use. With that said, are these rotors rated for track use? They look pretty sweet.

BTW, if you do SS lines, those mid-lines are supposedly a real pain to put in. My tech does it for a living and mentioned that to me.

Nice rotors.

Yes, both high-boiling point fluid and SS lines for HPDEs. Play it safe.

can you link me to where you go these from? **********s has the drilled and slotted but for some reason it fits all e90 models except the 330i (according to the list give).

The rotors on a 330 arent any different are they?

rotors

Howdy!

hey mccannable i'm trying to get brakes and I was wondering how do like your stoptech drilled rotors? and what pads did you get? could you give us a little review of them as for heavy street performance =P ? thanks, we would really appreciate it as there is some of us from the E90Post Houston looking into replacing brakes.

I got the stoptech pads and rotors. They are on the rear so I really dont feel the performance very much as compared to fronts. they look really nice and when I am not feeling lazy I will do the fronts. I do autocross regularly with them and they have no brake dust.
