Hi all, need to change my front discs, s50 coupe. Lots of talk about floating OEM discs being best, but are pricey, are there any aftermarket as good as discs, or better? I don’t use it for track days mainly infrequent sunny days but do enjoy stopping without hitting things :) any suggestions, thanks, Dave

I’ve got Brembo discs fitted to mine. They stop me just fine. Some pics on my journal here: https://www.mcoupe.co.uk/forum/forum...ge5#post295200

I always go for bog standard "OEM" quality discs (also use Pagid) but spend the money on decent pads.
I am known for driving my cars hard & doing the odd track day and £ for £ you're better off investing in pads than disks.
My pad of choice is the Ferodo DS2500 which I have never yet been able to provoke fade in.... Awesome stopping power.----------------

Has anyone any experience of Reyland discs? They were mentioned on another forum as they do floating discs that could be mounted on OEM brake bells which they will even do the assembly for you.

I have Reyland jhook discs on my M2 and they seem good. More expensive than oe bmw but they seem to be coping better (no judder/vibration when hot).
ATE floating discs seem fine on my M Coupe, not strictly OE but made to oe spec. I think you should get floating discs if for authenticity and looks if nothing else. These cars are retaining value so should have a little extra spent on them (single piece discs behind the wheel let it down for me).
