I hated the OE pads on my F87. Swapped them for Ferodo DS2500s.

What other options are people considering?

I enjoyed Hawk HP+ for a dual-duty track/street pad on my 240, might try them again on the G87 if they make em. For absolutely no reason I also want to try Endless MX-72s

Subscribed. Can't wait to see if we find a happy medium between OEM bite/dust mitigation. I hated the dust on my F80, but never made the leap to new pads. I just ended up washing the car every 3 days... :/

[JustinHEMI]

I'm strongly leaning towards the isweep pads. But I can't do anything without a car so stay tuned.

I can tell you low speed brake squeal and dust is brutal. I'm 100% committed to changing them out if you have positive results.

Most likely will be going with isweep from rG sport. r33_RGSport

Here's some recent G80 experiences with the iSweep IS1500.

And the IS2000s.

I think I'm going to go with the 2000s, "I stand by my statement that the 2000s are 70%+ less dust and I haven’t had a squeal yet; still think it’s been the best “upgrade” I’ve made. All that plus better breaking power, should be a no brainer!"

Set of IS2000 I will be getting as well.

I will say these things dust like I have never seen. Of course it helps that my delivering dealer used a nice quality tire dressing that slung crap all over for the dust to stick to. Anyway, looking forward to finding something less dusty as well.

I don’t know if I can bring myself to spending that kinda money on iSweep, if I did then it would be the is1500 pad since my main goal is brake dust mitigation. And on black wheels, this is a must. Also looking at EBC, Carbotech, Stoptech, Centric, etc.

Been mostly looking at the G80/82 forums for info and feedback before making a decision. Anyone care to offer recommendations for someone who isn’t really going to track their car but will do spirited drives from time to time and cares about brake dust reduction?

Yeah I'm still trying to figure out what to do. The stock breaks did fantastic over my 1100 break in miles, but my bicolor wheels are all black now. The ISweeps get great reviews, but so does EBC red stuff an carbotech. Decisions decisions.

Red stuffs do not have the best stopping power. I would look into yellow stuffs (I think I have said this before).

[JustinHEMI]

So after watching more youtube videos and reading more forums besides BMW, including vette and volkswagon, I decided to try the carbotech 1521s. Hoping they get here before my new wheels go on. Since they're piano black, the OEM dust will destroy them in short order (being clean that is).

Plus, there's a recent thread in the G80 forums with a few happy carbotech users.

I was reading that some people were having issues with them causing rattling or something but I think CT addressed it. I was looking at those too but they’re almost as much as the iSweep is1500 pads. EBC Redstuff is a little cheaper but I read somewhere that they’re not in stock anywhere, they’re a special order item and right now it’s roughly a 3 month lead time.

That was a big reason for me to try the CTs, I think they'll be here by Thursday. I'll throw em on that night before my break in service and new wheel install Friday.

I have heard nothing but good things about Carbotech, looking forward to your thoughts on them compared to stock. I have used Stoptech Sports on my past three cars but there is still a reasonable amount of dust, not as bad as stock pads though.

FWIW Iron and Fallout remover does wonders for removing brake dust. I am not sure of the effects of frequent use, I use it only a handful of times a year but it makes quick work of built-up brake dust on my track car using race pads. Just spray on, let sit for a few, light scrub, and rinse.

[JustinHEMI]

As expected I just received a shipping notice for my Carbotechs. I'll definitely post a review when I get some miles on them.

[StickyPickle]

I bit the bullet and ordered front/rear iSweep IS1500 pads. Was gonna go with the CarboTechs but got these for the sake of trying something else out that hasn’t been used yet on the G87 even though they’re the same pads used on the G80/82. This brake dust is killing me!

Nice! Looking forward to your reports!

Yup, figured since you’re having pretty good results with the CT pads, I’ll give these a go and see how they fare so we hopefully have more good options to pick from

Thanks for taking one for the team.
