Which Centric Pads ?
 

I need to replace my front pads ....

I was thinking about the
StopTech Street Performance Brake Pads for $ 62.23
Part Number: 18504-05112716

Found at the end of the page
05 2005 BMW X5 Brake Pad Set - Brake - Centric, Front, Rear - PartsGeek

Thoughts ?

I would take a look at Power Stop
Power Stop | Extreme Performance Brake Systems
Available from everywhere
RockAuto etc

For Street use try the Z16/Z17 product. The Z17 us the same product but with hardware in the box.

The product you marked has very low friction capabilities. See for your self on the manufacture's website WELCOME TO CENTRIC PARTS - Centric Parts

Stephen what were your pads again? I am thinking to add another coat of G2 caliper paint this year on my calipers and just get the nice Centric rotors and get rid of the Pagid pads and go with the ones you have - I recall you saying the bite was better than Cool Carbons since we do get some cold temps

It was the ones I recommended above. Have them on my X5 and they are perfect for the brake/vehicle weight balance of normal street driving. As I have posted before, I use mine for mostly town and country driving followed by trips monthly to keep things lubed. I had them on for 5,000/1YEAR so far very good.

Good cold morning braking, warmed up, and I GOT TO SLOW DOWN NOW traffic driving and commuting madness pedal modulations. Not grabby at all. No noise, dust, etc. Felt like OE first week. Normal break in procedure required for full performance (See their website for the modest process).

I have Cool Carbon on my M5 as it sees a more "spirtied" driving style :rofl:
