Dave_in_TX Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 What pads to get that do not eat up rotors and do not leave much dust? I've been using EBC pads for the last 80k+ miles on my 07 RT and still have the original rotors. Haven't noticed much dust either. Link to comment
Selden Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 All brake pads leave dust. I've been using Carbone Lorraine pads from Beemer Boneyard, but there's nothing wrong with the OEM pads. Go with whatever is easiest to obtain where you live. Link to comment
Guest Kakugo Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 What pads to get that do not eat up rotors and do not leave much dust? Morning cwilliams OEM pads I agree. Won't be finding me using anything else on my RT unless price shoots in the stratosphere. BMW dropped the price sharply last year, though this year it climbed up again. Yes, I go through so many sets I can monitor price changes in real time. I've never got along well with any EBC product so I cannot recommend it. But on Oilhead bikes equipped with organic brake pads as OE (Tokico caliper) Carbone Lorraine A3+ are a big improvement Link to comment
BOOCH Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I bought some SBS pads from Parts Unlimited and they are working fine. Steve Link to comment
Peter Parts Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I have no special attachment to BMW stuff, but the stockers on my model have the anti-rattle springs. No big thing to install them to other brands, but a nice feature. I rather like Dunlop pads - not sure if they are still sold under the Dunlop name. Ben Link to comment
EddyQ Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Won't be finding me using anything else on my RT unless price shoots in the stratosphere. Not sure how high OEM pads need to get before they are in the stratosphere. OEM pads are 3X the cost of EBC HH pads. That being said, I liked my OEM pads better than the EBC. EBC's are no more dusty, just don't like the feel and I get a wee bit of squeal now and then. Link to comment
