post some before and afters

Nar · 05-27-2015, 07:21 PM

Is that flip flop included in the $560?

Post some before and after pictures, and give us a review. I might consider this.

BoogeyMan'sBMW · 05-27-2015, 07:47 PM

Nice flip flop. Specs? Link to purchase?

Thanks in advance.

Eat.Sleep.Race · 05-27-2015, 08:03 PM

I did the same setup and love it, stop tech full kit for $600 shipped!

Route 16 · 05-27-2015, 08:06 PM

Yeah I'll do a before and after. Especially it'll be the first brake maintainance since 2011 so I'll for sure know the difference.

Edit 6/6/15
This is only the first day and less than 10 miles of driving but I am impressed of the overall appearance. All the right parts, nothing modified. Lack of initial bite when it's driven cold but once it warms up, much better response. This is coming from 328i stock brakes that haven't been changed or had fluid bled since then. Pedal feel seems just like 328, highway yet to be tested, brake pad bedding was even fun. My 328 pads/rotors lacked the bite to stop on a dime and would give a little shudder just after it stopped. Bed in stops were solid. I'll do another update once I reach reasonable miles this week. Should I have done this sooner? Visually (yes), performance wise (not really, but my car was due at 101k miles (1st pic rear pads), spend the money when you have too out of necessity)

2nd pic
It was a pain and it sucked putting that midline together so only one SS midline was not installed. Me and the shop installer decided to say fuck it, leave it as is. But all the other front/rear lines were installed.

3rd/4th pic to show you guys how far in the studs are threaded

Calipers will be ghetto spray painted after I clean them up.

bimmette · 05-27-2015, 08:06 PM

LOL at the flip flop!
More pics!

wdeerfield · 05-27-2015, 08:16 PM

how are you getting the 335 brakes to fit the 328 front calipers?

330xtrai · 05-27-2015, 08:39 PM

I'm running a similar setup but with r1 concepts rotors and no brake lines because apparently there aren't any for 330xi lol. Brakes are nice and are even better when warmed up street a nice stop

I went with this because I wanted all shine and the drilled holes look closer and a lot more than r1 rotors.

They look good on the car!
