Brakes/Rotors

Anyone running Brembo rotors and Porterfield field pads on their E320? Any issues to worry about?

Thanks

I wasn't but a few in here are. Great minor upgrade for brake cooling for the minimal price IMO and less dust with Porterfields...

What kind wheels do you have?

well, depends what kind of wheels do you have? If you have a five spoke or a lot of rim gaps you can see thru your wheels to the rotor, and Brembo cross drilled will be good and looks cool. But if you have some wheels thats hard to see your brake rotors, I would suggest just buy regular rotors and save a few buck and upgrade something else instead. I recently just purchased a set of rotors, and was struggling about which ones to get. I end up bought a plain Balo rotors and Mintex pads. they are great and quiet, less dust. But that just my IMHO. I have a set of Carlsson 2/6 wheels.
