As the titles states, I'm looking for some M5 front and rear brakes complete with rotors. Trying not to spend more than a 950-1k shipped. Hopefully one of our M owners recently upgraded to Brembos or StopTechs so I can pick up their old set up. If there are any out there just laying around please let me know.

----- Yes, Im aware there are cross drilled rotors for non M's, but this is purely a cosmetic mod. I primarily want the brakes to replace my puny OEM ones behind my wheel.

 

umm, even if we did upgrade. stock setup is going to go for more then 1k...

 

M5 are not cosmetic they do work as good as they look! search ebay, e39 forums etc.. salvage yards. I think there is one on ebay still off a wrecked M5. its worth the 1200-1400 price tag well until you need replacements LOL

 

o he's not saying that the m5's brakes are cosmetic. he's saying the oem cross-drilled rotor replacements for non-m's are cosmetic

 

I've seen several "take-off" setups go for that amount. In fact, Im kicking myself in the butt for passing up on a set a that was offered to me at a killer deal.

Yea, I know what you mean, That was not my intention for people to interpret that they are purely cosmetic mods. My intention for purchasing them are purely cosmetic. I want them cuz will look nice behind my wheels. The extra stopping power and all that jazz is a definite bonus


Actually no, AFAIK, the cross-drilled rotor replacements for non ///M's offer the same positive features that the ///M5 brakes do. Just not as well and they are not as large. But much cheaper. Who knows tho. I could be wrong.


Anyways-- I've received a few PM's and looks like I found my brakes

 

Found my set. Thanks folks. I'll be installing these as well as replacing my front control arms very soon. Woohoo

 

can someone PM me as well.. interested alsso..

 

Heheh sorry about that dawg I am glad you found your set!

 

LOL. No worries John. It's my fault for not taking advantage of the deal you were giving me right off the bat. I was able to get the setup for a grand shipped. Probably gunna take the care to Sonics as soon as the parts arrive
