What’s the current thinking on discs? I have an E85 3.0 Z4. Any preference on brembo vs pagid? Thinking of trying textar pads for lower dust maybe…?

Thanks

Cannot make any comparison for you but I have done several standard replacements using Brembo pads and discs and have no issues at all with them

As above, not done a back to back test of any sort but general accepted knowledge is that discs are just discs in most cases if used on the road. Don't buy the cheapest ones, but get something branded. If you are going to spend money on something to make you stop spend it on tyres and pads.

I'm told that the Brembo stuff sold by ECP is made specially for them to a very strict budget. I'd go with whichever is cheapest.

A number of members picked up Pagid discs from Halfords a while ago when they had a “too good to miss” discount, or perhaps a pricing error, myself included. I put the Pagids (325mm) on over the winter as part of a full brakes/suspension overhaul and they’ve been great.
I still have the OEM discs on a for sale thread somewhere.

Zimmerman from AutoDoc. Textar make the Genuine pads so you won’t go wrong. Been using Zimmerman for years. Excellent quality.
