Man I'm confused and frustrated! My car seems to enjoy warping rotors. Dealership replaced them twice and after my warranty ran out, I bought another set and now those are warped. Can anyone recommed a good quality set of rotors and break pads?

I don't run autox or race. I own a 2003 530i sport.

Thanks :thumbsup:

If you are warping multiple set of OEM rotors, the rotors are not the issue! Something else is causing them to warp. Personally, I have never seen a warped rotor. Are the caliper pistons sticking, slides sticking? Do you put the car away with wet brakes? Do you ride the brakes?

I don't think performance friction makes pads for the 530, otherwise I would have put them on my dad's 2003 530i. I'm a huge fan.

I used Brembo rotors with Pagid oem type pads on the 530i.

And I have warped a few rotors in my day by driving through puddles with very hot brakes.
