I'm sure you probably haven't,
but

do you have any numbers on these?
60-0
100-0?

Those run about 7-8 grand so I hope they were worth it!

Thanks for all the comments guys. They just look so right on the M. They tie in nicely with the red rpi scoops too.

Don't have any timings yet butonce the pads, etc have bedded in properly I will try and get some.

As for price... Well I didn't pay anywhere near 7-8 grand either in dollars or gbp he he

A friend of mine paid £5,000gbp for this complete kit. Only used it for about 3 months then decided to sell the car. As I had already had his M5 brakes off him for my previous M Sport he needed to px them to me. Paid £2,000gbp for the complete kit (proper bargain of the century...

As for other mods:

- angel eye bright v3
- colour coded grilles
- cf side gills
- lci rear lights
- rpi scoops, block off plates and bmc filters
- custom stainless exhaust from the Cats back
- Eibach prokit
- Eibach 12mm spacers all round
- cf badges all round

I do have the complete spec.dock iPhone kit and modmynav module with reverse camera but haven't got round to fitting them yet.

ICE will also be another big job.

Cheers for the offer but I don't like getting rid of the stock bits as I never know how long I will keep the car. So easy to return to stock.

Plus shipping of these to the States would be seriously costly.

Nice very nice! Have you bedded them in yet? You must do that for them to work properly.

According to the literature you are supposed to do hard stops but without actually coming to a complete stop. But all the tech's i have spoken to have said bed them in as per normal brakes????

They are superb and the best bit of cash I have ever spent on any of the cars I have owned. Will have to meet up some time Jon. You should pop over to EvoTechnik
