Brake disc - which one???

[c-square]

Brothers, I am thinking of replacing my brake discs as I believe they are warped (Made the mistake of changing to the non-ori Taiwan made ones which lasted probably only 2 months...now the steering shakes violently when braking during high speed)Question is there are so many types and brands of discs to choose from in the markletplace and I am totally lost. Is there any recommended aftermarket discs which are worthwhile for my e36 318i? Ideally, I would like the brakes to have more "bite" and please don't bother with those really expensive ones which costs an arm and a leg. So, any suggestions, guys? Thanks very much

Stock BMW - serious - they are pretty good. If you think not, then you might want to look at your pads and tyres.

Try asking for the ATE Power disc. Good stuff and pretty reasonably priced. Enjoy!

Agree with Kev. using the ATE PowerDisc on my e30 and e36. Worth the price. Go for it.

C-square, if the discs are relatively new, go and skim it. Should b okie after that

I have seen even ori discs warped after a couple of months!!
