New brakes - OEM vs. aftermarket
ive searched the forum here but not found much at all. I only came across the wavey discs from turner.
Are there any other brands of discs for the M5? i see tar ox just do front discs. EBC none i can see on tier website. or is it just best to stick to OEM? is anyone else running aftermarket brakes?

G’day
I’ve done extensive research on Front Brake OEM and upgrade options and these stack up very well . Have a look at these UK Brake options : https://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_...5+f10&_sacat=0 Cheers Bruce |

M5 F10 Front Brakes
Hi All,
Following the thread of OEM brakes v's aftermarket I went about to solve the problem myself...……. This set up has been design by myself and currently over 2000 miles in with superb results. My set up consists of 1. Pair of 410x36mm (hook) rotors. 2. Designed floating aluminium bells (7 series), hard anodised black 3. AP racing 1/4" bolt fitting (bobbing) kit 4. 7mm Aluminium spacers for caliper offset 5. Pad internals machined to suit 122mm Radius (bell clearance) Really happy with it, combined with the braided hoses is an amazing upgrade. Only down side is with floating discs - even with this sprung loaded bobbing kit can be a little noisy with the hook design in the rotors. Do not get any squeal from the EBC yellow stuff pads. |

I am going to be upgrading my brakes due to excessive dust/noise from the OEM replacement currently put on by the dealer i purchased the car from. Quick question, has anyone done this themselves? and if so, did you re-use the hardware? The hardware costs more than the actual pads from what i have seen. Thanks!
