Hey Fanatics! ![Bluebiggrin]( "Bluebiggrin")
Newbie question time here regarding brake pads and discs.
I have a '96 E36 316i with solid front discs, drums at back.
My pads are almost due for a replacement and I'm looking to improve my braking performance over stock (running generic cheapie pads currently).
I've looked into getting Powerbrake discs and pads, but unfortunately the don't make discs for the thinner solid size.
So my question to you guys is:
1) What brake pad would you recommend for my vehicle? I've heard good things of ATE, Powerbrake and Alfa.
2) Powerbrake pads are going for R1100 for a set and ATEs are on special at Midas for R350 a set. Are the Powerbrake pads THAT much better for the cost?
3) Are generic discs (solid) as good as ATE solid discs?
Many thanks!
