Rotors are $380/side = $760. Add in brake pads, lines and heat shield and you're at the $3,000 mark. At the point, you might as well get the real Brembos that were actually designed for our the E89. Probably won't mess with the balance or need coding (that doesn't exist) either. It would be a something to actually consider if the brackets can be had for cheaper.
But man, oh man... do they look amazing   |
Besides the look, and the performance I do like the fact it retains the e-brake. I have some time till pull the trigger on brakes. I think the Brembos are almost $4000 just for the front.
