X5M Rear brake pad suggestions

StatenEye · 10-01-2018, 09:17 AM

Hey guys,

Time to slap pads on the rear. Rotors are fine this time around. What is the general consensus for pads. Not paying for OEM. I read Cattivo used the posi quiet pads and these seemed to be recommenced but a few others. Is this the general consensus?

Thanks

TRW is a good brand but couple of reviews say wrong size were sent.

Buy it fit it soon within the return window

I was going to use the ones Lunker325 and boneca suggested at the link below:

I ended up buying the OEMs off of FCPEuro for that lifetime guarantee. Not sure yet if I'll do the same thing for the fronts.

Let me know how your replacement goes, I will do mine in a weekend or so.
Never done it before nor any brake job for that matter. Seems straight forward...
