you will feel it in the form of zero fading/crisper bite at high speeds with moderate to hard braking.
And yeah, it definately looks the business !

No Andy, he will feel more braking power too!!
To note the difference in fading he should go on track.

Looks nice, I like that you kept the chrome grills.

Are the M5 brakes a direct bolt in? Any changes required beside rotor and calipers? That sounds like a great mod.

And if you don't mind how much to swap the brakes.

Sure : new calipers, new pads, new rotors . And you can install new brakes easily in 1 hour .


That sounds like a great mod.

It's a great mod indeed!

The front and rear rotors the screw that holds it in place you need to replace that one and the rear rotors, you either have to shave the back plates or remove the back plates. I shaved it off instead. You will see if when you remove the rear rotors there is the hand brakes remove that plate or else the rear rotors will not fit. Everything else is direct bolt on and you can use stock sensors, but i bought new m5 sensors.
