Needs some DIY advice on front brakes.
After 6 months of front end "wobble" or vibration during braking at 40mph+ I have decided it is time for rotors and pads. This is a true indicator with any other car why not an M5. 7 months ago by recommendation of the local BMW dealer they replaced bushings and strut mounts for $600+ which of course did not fix the problem. Have taken the car to the highway for a few higher speed brake runs to "clean" the rotors/pads with no resolve.
* My M5 is a 2001 with 54k miles and do not drive agressively (well some times on a select off ramp or local back road) or plan to track the car in the near future.
So, here are my questions to those with more experience: For the money should I go OEM or high performance replacement.? Would the DIY's suggest this work or take to a dealer.? Lastly, is there any threads on brake rotor/pad replacement?.
