z18 definitely is a better deal. I probably would have gone for z18 instead if I knew b4 hand. regardless I am happy w mine and meets all my requriements: front floating disk and fit 17" wheels (ok, you guys wont understand this). moreover its direct bolt on, no bridge, hence no risk of rattle/shake at high speed. as you mentioned, some shops' sources could be questionable and I dont know the local vendors/garage well enough (so far I have met none that I am completely happy w). Going for bmw perf brake gives me the piece of mind I need. I dont like the color either but life is compromise.
Life is short, enjoy your mod.

FJ; the point is not good or bad.
Its about he was cheating!
Even spend couple Ks, You will even don't know where your parts come from.
I learned that Z17/18 mostly comed from Porsche996, as said that my package is NOT come from factory!
(I m sure about this, as I was there to see this package opened, actually its not package at all!)
He definitely cannot prove my caliper is brand new and buy from dealer, as before I oredering the caliper was already there!
So you know what, I am paying some thousands more and get a SECOND-HAND PARTS!!!

I think this Z will not be butcher as that garage that sold me Brembo! :thumbsdown:
From what I have see and hear, it quotes fair/resonable price, even I just a outside-street guy.
For example, I called and got quoted HK$20,000 for KWV3 installed, which even cheaper than what you order from vendor directly!
I m a businessman, well know that doing business is of course, in view of make profit!
But it must be honest, fair and reasonable!
If the street is selling it at 17K, by which, it means they already making reasonable profit, why you sold me 22.5K?
You are butching me! Am I idiot?
It makes me fucking angry!

Also, I don't want to be the frontier on mods. I saw the F10 guys in the states who have already done the mods and I PM them for details prior to making any decisions. Just don't want to be the first guy and mess up badly.

Jacky,
I've read from discuss.com.hk, a 335i owner has a very disappointing experience with this Z shop. I cannot verify if this is true, but the story he told sounds somewhat disturbing.

I had a couple of things done at "Z" shop and so have a few more F10 guys. All very satisfied with their service. That's why I will be doing my suspensions and brakes there and also recommended Jacky. Again nothing is guaranteed but from our experiences recently, not a bad garage to go to.

I concur with you trustworthiness is very important as a business owner.
How's Level III training, I think there's a lot of fun, isn't it?
