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!

axxis deluxe will work fine with drilled, slotted, or solid rotors... no worries.. go for it.

i`m loving them, feels better than oem looks better and perform better:thumbup: 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
