First of all shout out to TiagX5 and StephenVA
* we installed cool carbon pads on our e90 3 series a couple of months ago
with zimmerman coated rotors
* also painted the calipers with G2
Very satisfied with the bite and low dust versus the OE pads / OEM textar
( based from my observation) - I have not tried the akebono euro pads yet
*Now we installed cool carbon pads with centric solid rotors (new clips with rubber bushing kit)
* and G2
Will I use cool carbon pads on our E46 m3? yes! Definitely
Still deciding on the rotors
