Amazing build and great color choice!

Wow!

Did you by chance weigh the brembo brakes? How do they perform/feel compared to stock?

I didn’t weight them, I’m sure they’re heavier considering they’re 6 piston fronts with larger diameter rotors. Performance is the same as steel stock brakes. Only under continuous hard braking can you start noticing these fade a lot slower than OEM brakes.

Beautiful car. Nice and classy.

Thank you. It didn’t improve the brake feel?

Everyday seems to get more sticky. It’s Only been a few hundred miles,
Usually takes a good 4/500 miles before they’re properly Broken in. They feel the same as of right now

Now that I've gotten 500 miles on them, I can tell you the brake feel is improved which in turn gives me more confidence. Amazing how just a couple hundred miles breaks these in where they feel extremely capable. I've done a few fast runs and brake fade is nonexistent

Custom finishes (clear brushed faces and high polished lips)

Sizes are not custom.

A rebarrel for wider wheels may be on order in the future, we'll see!

^jeez, that is perfect fit!

Alan l. · 04-18-2019, 08:36 AM

Sweet! Can not go wrong with LMs on a BMW.

Curious to know what your rear wheel/tire specs are and if you rub. I'm on 20x10 et20 with bmw star spec PSS tires and on dips I rub the inner fender liner and part of the rear bumper with my drop. I want to switch to P4S tire but i just can't see how that would be possible unless you mess with camber.

Need to do small drop still, then alignment and then I'll report back on whether I rub it not.

Here's this in the mean time...
