Parts have finally come in for my brake rebuild!! Very excited to get everything on the car and working. I have not been a fan of the feel of the brakes on my F15 since I got it. I am pretty sure the pads on my car are not stock, as they have very poor initial bite, and they have nowhere near the power that my E70 X5 35d had. These parts should make things a lot different.
Went with R1concepts Geomet drilled rotors in the F15 50i fitment front and rear. Also picked up a set of nice X5 50i calipers which I am going to clean and powdercoat gloss orange. For pads I went with R1concepts “Semi-Metallic” pads front and rear. These were recommended for the maximum amount of daily bribing bite in my colder Michigan climate. I know they will dust the wheels more than a ceramic pad, but I don’t care. I am more interested in how my brakes feels and perform.
