R36 wagon brake "upgrade"

[Domatron]

Hi all,

So my rear brakes are shagged and I am going to take this opportunity to change to ATE ceramic pads. The ATE website suggests that you change the rotors when swapping to the ceramic pads and I'm considering the DBA Street Series T2 rotors.

I'm looking into these for the added performance and sportier styling. My concern is they might be noisy. Does anyone have any experience with these rotors?

TIA

Interested to know as well
I have the exact parts combo ready but the factory discs and pads are still going strong...

T3 front w ate ceramic & T2 rear w ate ceramic.

- Didn't notice any extra noise personally. (Maybe a tiny noise directly following a car wash; wheels/brakes subjected to pressure washer)
- Noticed less brake dust, but definitely still there
- Have not driven hard enough to notice incremental performance benefits

T3 front
T2 rear
Remsa semi ceramic pads front + rear
Still dusty, no real noticeable noise, takes a few hard brakes when cold to bite but otherwise pretty good.

You shouldn’t have noises with the DBA rotors and ATE Ceramic pads, as long as fitted correctly.

Yep go for it got ate front and rear now no noise at all that's with Zimmerman drilled rotors

Np mate
The fronts in 340mm disc were 221 each side
And the pads for both were 224

Back rotors in 310mm were 165 each
Pafs for back were 145 a set

Be aware that the feel of ceramics is different not as much bite straight up but still pull up well
I also have a longer pedal travel atm as car is relearning the new bigger calipers so is a different feel
