    so i just looked at the prices of the rotors and your right they are not that bad at all.....but

    here is my question...and maybe a stupid one at that...do i need to upgrad my calipers? I have a feeling that I might...but I hope I dont....

    thanks for your help winfred! =)

    Just bought a full set of 4 Balo's and Mintex/OEM replacement pads for mine. Rear rotors were original, fronts were on seconds.
    May the Schwarz be with you...

    you need the calipers too if you want to use the thicker e32 rotors

    Default Mintex pads

    Yeah, the Mintex pads are supposed to be a OEM spec. compound - I think the original pads on mine were Jurid or Pagid. Kind of a funny story actually because I really just needed the rears but accidentally ordered fronts first. I was really sick and doped up in my defense.
