LF: BMW x3 e83 3.0 Brakepads, and possibly, rotors + brakepad combo

Looking for brakepads that will have better grip than the oem one's, i'll consider any brand, please list down prices and what kind of compound.

Also there is a possibility that i might change the rotors + brakepads if it's not too expensive.

Please PM me with details:

Brand, Product Line, Compound, Price and Availability.
Also, if you have any definite suggestions on what's best, please let me know.

Thanks!

EBC makes the worst brake pads. They make a lot of dust and squeal a lot. Do a search on any car forums and most of the ppl will recommand to stay away from it.

I would try Akebono Euro ACT or even the Hawk HPS
