    so i need new brakes soon. i know you guys won't have specifics on the 6, but input is appreciated.

    getting posi quiet ceramic pads, need some help on the rotor side.

    trying to decide between brembo blanks ($240 shipped) or centric blanks ($200 shipped).

    any thoughts on the two brands or any other options?

    While what rotors you get might depend of what type of driving you plan to be doing.

    Brembo's of course, you are paying for the name. While they come in cool colors, I have heard the paint quality has gone down and they chip easily.

    Erik mentioned looking into DBA (Disc brake Australia)

    The main difference with these is the air flow can cross flow in these rotors unlike the normal vented rotors. This helps keep the rotor from heating and cooling non uniformly which can lead to warping.

    Here is a discussion on them
