I'm going to be getting all new pads and rotors soon. No warning message yet, but my rotors have a definite lip around the edges, I get a slight high pitch whine when driving slow through the neighborhood after my 12 mile drive home, and I must do something to reduce the amount of brake dust I get!
Was first looking at the coated Zimmerman rotors, but now I think I have decided on Centric E-coated Premium High Carbon rotors (and the black coating is good for my black X5). For the pads, I think I will go with Centric Posi Quiet Ceramic pads, which come with shims and stainless steel retaining clips. I've read a lot of opinions on pads from many people. So far, I don't think I have read anything bad about these products and the price isn't too bad. I've Googled and price compared and so far, I think the best price I have found for all rotors and pads is $302.74 + shipping from RockAuto.com. Several other sites are just slightly more, and Zeckhausen was WAY more for these products. I understand the mechanics of how to do this, but I think I will pay my Indy mechanic to make sure it gets done right. I wanted to do the caliper paint kit (glossy black) at the same time, but not sure I will have the time and temps any time soon for that. I think my mechanic wouldn't mind if I did the calipers in situ in his driveway after we pull them off the rotors, but days are getting colder fast. RockAuto prices: Centric E-Coated Premium High Carbon Rotors: Front 125.34050 $64.79 Rear 125.34051 $47.79 Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic Pads: Front 105.06810 $46.79 Rear 105.06830 $30.79

Good thoughts
Total Cost = parts+shipping!!! Sometimes the dealer is the way to go on some parts as the shipping on some items is the deal breaker.
