F85 Brakes on E70 Question

323tom · 01-15-2017, 11:33 AM

Hello everyone, its time to change out my rotors/pads/brake fluid. Was wondering the guys who have upgraded to the Drilled F85 rotors, did you order F85 pads or E70 pads? Also are new sensors required? Also assuming the rotors are exact same size and my oem 298m 19" winter wheels will clear? Ironically my local dealer says the F85 pads are cheaper to order so its a no brainer, but says there special order so no returns, can someone please post exact part numbers for the rotors and pads so I can confirm its what they will be ordering for me. Also any useful information/tips towards the install would be much appreciated, Thanks!

Everything lines up with the F85 rotors, you can re-use your E70 pads and yes your 298's will fit no problem

Will the F85 6 piston front calipers fit in our stock 20inch wheels as well.
