Hi guys. How are they in terms of brake dust and braking power?
brake dust is almost 0 and braking power is about 5% to 10% better, but if you change the steel pipe like me & keith it will be abit more.

nice night out, noodles, chit chat, we even met that guy with the 330i

Keith that M5 steering wheel felt great, nice padding and thickness, and the tricolour stitching was cool.
This guy Ah Kin of Sing Fai was amazing, he took off my Mtech rear diffuser and put on another black one
in 10mins!!
i have seen others who post that you have to take off the whole rear bumper, which takes 2 hours+

can't wait till the eibach pro springs can be fitted.
am also fitting the front M tech carbon splitters

Me and Pingu bought ours in the UK, i paid around GBP 130.00 for the front and rear.
Steel pipe refering to the stainless steel brake lines, it increases the brake feeling and will last 4ever
