Replacement Part Advice.
Hello all, I have another question and this time it is regarding replacement parts
With replacing parts I always try to go O.E or B.M.W as direct replacements now my question is I have to replace my brakes which I already have posted info about and now I will have to do both my struts and shocks. As for my question it is about both the brakes again and the struts and shocks Are Bosch Brake pads and rotors a good replacement choice if they meet O.E standards? As they currently have a rebate going on as well. • Get $10 back via mail-in rebate when you purchase 1 brake pad set. • Get $25 back when you purchase 2 brake pad sets. • Get $25 back when you purchase 1 brake pad set and 2 rotors. • Get $50 back when you purchase 2 brake pad sets and 4 rotors Now I have to wonder has anyone used Bosch brake pads or rotors? Moreover on to the Struts and Shocks they have Monroe and Rancho Shocks & Struts with rebates as well would this be the best replacement for my struts http://www.amazon.com/Monroe-72871-S...1&s=automotive Or is Gabriel Shocks and Struts better than Monroe and Rancho shocks? http://www.amazon.com/gp/part-finder...&vehicleType=5 Any input is welcomed thank you ahead of time -Wolfy

I am not picky about rotors. I get the least expensive I can find.
For stock E30s I prefer OEM pads. Shocks... Get Bilsteins. Worth the price of admission, IMO.

I have oem pads on the front. They might be good, but too dusty for my liking.

I installed PBR/Axxis Metal Master from Turner. Very low dust and good DD performance.
