1991 420SEL & 300E, 2003 BMW X5, 2001 740iL all on DUBS
I have Brembo rotors and calipers all around on my 1991 420SEL not sure what brand the pads are but i know they are semi-metalic so i dont get to much brake dust on my rims. Not sure if Brembo is worth the money the car stops on the dime but it cost me a pretty penny

Hi Dave
I had considered the power slotted or and drilled rotors. What are you running on your SEL?
Are they noisy or crate any chatter or vibration?
I was looking for a little better stopping and of course less brake dust, but don't want to suffer any change in the feel of the brakes, if you know what I mean.
If you not busy tomorrow there is a meet in Philly area.

Skip the drilled rotors. Most develop cracks when used severely.. Slotted are the way to go.
