i need new brakes and rotors want to go ceramic. I see a set of 4 drilled rotors and 2 sets of ceramic pads on ebay 400.00 free shipping was wondering if anyone has this set up and how are they with brake dust. dont care much about drilled rotors but this is the best price i could find either way. best i coild find local was about 650 parts. heres some info on them.
ITEM INCLUDES 4 NEW DRILLED & SLOTTED ROTORS, AND EVOLUTION CERAMIC PADS (FRONT & REAR) FOR ALL
2002-2005 BMW 745i & 745Li
PRODUCT INFORMATION
FEATURES OF EVOLUTION CERAMIC BRAKE PADS
Dynamometer tested using SAEJ2430 (BEEP) requirements for safe and fade resistant braking
Flame scorching of the pad surface to improve green (Pre-Burnish) pad bite
Ceramic pads are 100% non-ferrous so there is no steel & iron in the pad that cause annoying brake squeal
Low dust formulation
All pads come with a constrained layer steel shim with two active rubber layers to silence brake noise
Positive mold hot pressing to eliminate soft spots inside the pad

FEATURES OF KINETIC CROSS DRILLED ROTORS
Castings are made using SAEJ431 metallurgy from ISO9000 registered foundries
Large drill holes reduce stress risers
Holes are engineered for optimum cooling to prevent rotor warping
Zinc-dichromate plating resists rust for years and provides much better protection than painted rotors
Precision machined using state of the art CNC machine for perfect fit and balance
Custom chamfered holes to prevent rotor cracking
THE SCIENCE BEHIND FASTER STOPS!
Cross-drilled rotors can improve stopping power up to 35% over stock rotors as reported in SAE Technical Paper 2006-01-0691 "The effect of Rotor Cross drilling on Brake Performance" by two GM engineers. That's why Corvette, Porsche, Mercedes, and BMW vehicles come factory direct with drilled brake rotors, i.e. not dimpled or slotted. The fact is that the drill holes greatly improve convection heat transfer and the result is more pad bite. The report also states that "it is possible to have too many holes; in which case too much cooling air would be lost before reaching the hottest part of the rotor". Kinetic rotors are designed for optimum rotor cooling and durability with one cooling hole per vane. This also provides superior strength to avoid cracking.
STOP ROTOR WARPING!
High rotor temperature can cause heat spots to form on the rotor, and this causes pulsating brakes. Cross-drilled rotors keep the brakes up a 150 degrees cooler to prevent rotor warping.
GENUINE POWER STOP EVOLUTION CERAMIC BRAKE PADS!
Most OE vehicles come with ceramic pads. Power Stop’s Evolution pads are the perfect replacement for serious street performance. All pads are made using positive mold technology for quiet, consistent braking. Pads are chamfered and slotted like the OE, and come with dual layer rubber shims.
