Interesting, I ran XP8 at the front and XP6 at the rear on my Legnum VR-4 with Evo 4 pot front and 2 pot rear calipers for years on track and road and never had a problem. I was running DBA5000 two piece rotors at the front which are similar in design to the M6 rotors and DBA4000 one piece at the rear and never had any issues.

Bonus points if you've ever heard of a Legnum VR-4 Mine is a facelift model so the Evo Brembos just bolt straight on. I also ran an Evo 8 S-AYC diff on it and an Evo 8 6 speed box, the stock was normal AYC and the same 5 speed box (but different ratios) that were on the Evo 4-9

I had these on my old 2013 M5. No issues except a softer bite until they warmed up.

Just fitted Carbotechs 1521 pads:

(R) CT1469-1521

Great price and quick shipping from Mike (Thanks)

Quick initial feedback.

Easy install, if you haven't done electronic rear brakes (E-brake) then just youtube BMW rear pads like this one, its easy!:



Fronts are easy too- note you have to unclip the brake flexi-hose and lift the caliper off the studs slight bottom stud first - its a tight fit but does come off.

Back to the pads, no crazy break-in required according to Carbotech/Mike just normal driving for the first 300 miles to bed the pads on the disc's.

Of note is the brake pedal feel is slightly firmer (I was running newish pads and discs all round so 'new' isn't the reason) and feel better than stock.

Brake dust and the reason I did the change is 95% reduced so VERY happy!

Noise - the Carbotech 1521 sometimes make some very light squeal when slowing from say 5mph to a stop on very light brake pedal, my OEM brakes were totally silent luckily although this is a feature of perormance brakes so would have been OK with some squeal and am very happy the 1521's are almost silent to.

I need to do some more miles and harder use for fuller feedback on performance and if the pads become silent.

But so far I highly recommend them and not just for the fact that after 500 miles my wheels look spotless
Who is mike i need to order some today? link?

That's exactly what I did and rotors became warped. Good luck.

Hopefully not. All my rotors have lips on them and I measured the front one right at 34.4mm so they are basically done anyways. starting to vibrate at high speed braking.

Plus im so sick of the stock pads dust, ha.
