Solid Brake Bushings

[BMWZ4MC]

I couldn't find any from this side of the Atlantic but they seem to be worth the money.

Any good links for picking them up? Prices from the US are too steep.

I've just done a quick search on ebay and found these for you: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-Solid-Brake-Caliper-Pin-Bushing-/291518335597?hash=item43dfd8ca6d At £37 they are a very effective mod.

Just check with the seller that they will fit your car. See if you can make a "best offer" that the seller will accept, or alternatively, ask the seller if they will sell the brass bushes and cir clips on their own, without the pins (use the ones presently in your brakes), so you can get them even cheaper.

Good find, thanks very much - I found 2 sellers on eBay but they were lame.

Question! I have ordered a set of caliper bushes, but i got 3 instead of 2 bushes in each package. 2 (soft) rubber bushes & one (hard) teflon bush. (as seen in the middle in the picture below).



I opted to go with the 2 rubber bushes but after about 800 miles driving with the new bushes (and overhauled brakes) i'm feel the brake pedal is too loose. Don't want to go the brass route

If i fit the hard teflon bus (1 on each caliper) should i replace the upper or lower rubber bush???

follow up: i've replaced the lower bush on the car for the harder one, as seen in the middle in the picture above, and the pedal went instantly firm(er). wanting to do the upper bush also now
