Hello everyone,

My 2015 MCS F56 finally had warning light for brake pads... so I am looking to do rotors and pads... trying to decide between ESC Tuning and Way Motor Works.
Anyone here have any experience with WMW brake kit?








and here is ESC Tuning kit:




Any advice is welcomed. Thank you.

 

I'm enjoying EBC Red pads on my 15 MCS and 18 911 GTS both cars. Bites nicely and has reasonably low amount of dust. While I never experienced WMW rotors (not sure which brand they're rebranding it), I would pick EBC pads over Akebono.

But just in case if you're interested,
I'm upgrading my 15 MCS brakes to JCW Sport Brake kit (and or course, EBC Red pads) in a couple of weeks (picking up this weekend) and I'll have ECS front + rear rotors (not drilled or slotted) and EBC Red front pads (re-using rear pads since they're the same) with under 7k miles usage for sale soon. (possible to sell new oem rear pads off JCW kit along with other brake parts). PM me if you're interested. =)

 

Brake pads are like candy bars - there are a ton of different flavors, and everyone has their favorite. I run the Akebono pads on my Clubman, and I like them for a daily driver pad. They also dust way less than the EBC Rad pads. I wasn’t a fan of the red pads.

Either set of rotors will be fine. Both come with a quality coating to help against rust.

 

Thank you, you brought up interesting point on the pads. I always felt like the OEM ones I had so far were never enough and always felt very soft... I would rather feel more "bite" to it than try to depress the brake pedal deeper and deeper for stronger feel..
There is of course price difference between ESC and WMW that comes up to about $100

 

Powerstop has a 4 wheel kit on rock auto. Includes sensors
Decent price.

Always satisfied with Way Motor Works. They use quality parts. ECS is good as well. Your can't go wrong with either one.

 

with 63K mi. why do rotors ? on my '15 MCS with 42K mi. I would do EBC Red Stuff pads & sensors. I've got JCW calipers & rotors on my Signature & the Front
will be on their 3rd set, Rear will be on 2nd set next time I do brakes & I do Fr. & Rr seperately. whichever one needs replacing.if you're worried about rotors, have them measured.

 

Depends on the condition of the rotors. Mine were pretty well worn at 42k. Replacing just the pads would not have made sense.

I'm local to Way Motor Works. They don't skimp on quality, ever. If you try to get them to skimp on quality, they snarl quietly. In other words, Good shop. If I had to involuntarily hand all my decisions about what to buy (or who to get the car serviced by) to one shop, it would be them -- "do it right" is... just what they are.

Doesn't mean products they don't sell can't work/aren't good/whatever, of course. Just figured I'd offer the data point about the vendor.

 

I saw this thread because I'm back on the forums since I'm trading in my 17 for a 22 tomorrow and looking for tips.

Anyway, I replaced the rotors and pads with oem last summer and I had a heck of a time getting the air out of one of the front brake calipers. I mean a heck of a time. I finally bled the brakes by just letting them drip, one by one. It worked, unlike the two vacuum devices I tried. I also have a pressure bleeder still in the box because the drip method worked.
