Paging SuaveX5 - Brakes doin' OK?

Just curious to know how you're liking your brakes since you've had them for a few months now... Any issues with the cross-drilled rotors? Did you bed 'em in by the book (the Zeckhausen book)? Did you ever post pics? - I couldn't find any besides your dust-comparison ones...

I'm thinking about doing the same setup, but admittedly just for looks - love the drilled rotors look, but I'm a bit apprehensive. I already run the Axxis pads and they're great, but I'll replace those too if I do the rotors. I suppose if they hold up to the bedding process, they should be fine for normal driving, no? I don't plan on doing and track time. Just thought I'd check in with the guy who can speak from experience.... TIA!

i`m loving them, feels better than oem looks better and perform better plus i saved a tons of money, the dealer wante $1100 to do the job.

i did bed 'em in by the book (the Zeckhausen book), and changed the breake fluid too.

no issues with the cross-drilled rotors, i`m very happy with them.

i`ll post some pics of the breaks for you.

soon i`ll be doing the same to my brothers X5 4.4
