Has anyone upgraded the front pads on an F56, our F57 with automatic transmission does not like to come to a standstill with standard brakes, the gearbox seems to want to keep pushing the car forward and as anyone who has driven the F56 series cars will know the brakes are a little weak.

I run Mintex M1144's on my R55 with high carbon brembo discs and i've been more than happy with them.

The 57 is due a brake fluid change and i'm thinking of Motu 600, i'll leave the stock hoses on as i don't think the braided ones will do to much, that just leaves pads, there doesn't seem to be much choice out there.

So if you have upgraded what have you done ?
