Actually, I already purchased a set for all four corners of the EBC Red Stuff--I want to have the same friction properties all around! I'll update your Red Stuff post when I have a few miles under my belt.

Fiscally, that's unfortunate, b/c I still have a set of Axxis Deluxe Plus rears in my garage (which fits not only all E53s, but also E38s and E39 M5 rears). Oh well, I'm sure I'll find takers for all my various E39 stuff left over.

I'm not at all opposed to giving EBC a try. It's just that I only had prior history with Mintex/Axxis. I sincerely doubt I'll be testing the brakes on my 4.8 like I did on the M5 (~3500 track miles in nearly six years).
