Have you used the brakes in anger yet? Much difference to the standard set up?
And how difficult was the install- just an adapter needed I assume?
I took it out for a short run earlier..
Feel is great but I wont really be able to tell much difference from stock as I dont track the car or, drive it hard on the brakes anyway.
No doubt on track, they'll be great at keeping cool as the surface area and disc cooling is huge over to factory fit setup.
I do have a slightly longer pedal, though.
It's not bad by any means but it's an observation. It actually makes modulatation easier.
It's either a bias adjustment as the rears are still stock, I need to bleed them a 2nd time, or it's just how they are.
These particular brakes were used on 2 track cars, when I got them they were wrecked.
They needed new pistons, seals, a thread repair, and then a full strip and paint refurbish.
Fitment on the 3.0si requires:
Brackets:

CSL / Z4M Discs:

I had to bench grind the pads down by 3/4 of a MM to get them to fit with the 28mm CSL rotors. Others have not needed to do this, though.
My Brembo pads are 17mm, other pad options are 16mm.
