Brake rotor preferences

[John in CT]

For my 1995 525im, I'm looking at Ate, balo and brembo fronts, any things to consider besides price? The stock rotors have donr 82K and are heavily ridged, not too flat either.

Thanks in advance,

Ate & Balo are good. Given the choice I'd pick the Balo's, tend to be a bit cheaper too. Can't see the need or benefit from the Brembo's

Hey John,

If you're not doing a lot of track days a year or competing then I would check out OEM rotors.

<u>3 reasons</u>
1) I think they're made by Brembo (I may be wrong)

2) They're balanced at the BMW plant by shaving material away, not by adding little weights to the rotor

3) With a BMWCCA membership ($40) they're stupid cheap from the dealer.
