Pad selection for ZCP Brakes

[Bimma360]

I've always been an OE pad guy for the street. Cold bite and CoF are at the top of my list, and usually the OE stuff is best at that. A while ago I realized that modern BMW M pads are GG rated for CoF, which is 0.45 - 0.55 CoF, but the stock ZCP pads are still FF rated (0.35 - 0.45 CoF) like a lot of pre G8X M cars. I ended up going with EBC yellow's instead. 0.5 CoF, good cold bite, and supposedly a little more heat tolerance vs stock. I am wrapping up the brake refresh now, so I don't have any seat time yet. Will be pairing the EBC's with Girodisc rotors front and rear.

Which ones for street? MX72? MX87?

The 72 for street and very spirited canyon driving I'm on Giros on the front and they are wearing in beautifully by the look of the rotor
