OEM pad upgrade for std caliper

**portlandgrey** · 02-01-2016, 11:36 PM

I believe there is an updated BMW OEM pad for the standard caliper, has anyone used it or can give any feedback?

Looked into it a while back and was told there is no such upgrade,Performence Friction Z rated pads are a very good choice

I can personally vouch for these as it's what I'm currently running in my Cecil and it's what he came with when I bought him back in '09

They'll be OK for an occasional Track Day too

just don't expect them to last the whole day @ Bedford Autodrome

I think the OEM BMW race pad is a Pagid and the cost was very high.

Go for something aftermarket like the Performance Friction, or Mintex, or Pagid etc.

I bought Pagid RS29 via trackm3 on here. Great pad on standard calipers/discs.

Upgrade the brake fluid and hoses too.
