decided to treat the M5 to some new stoppers:


3 of the 4 callipers there! 355mm rotors alround, 6 pots on the front and 4's for the back, should haul it up nicely!

I got a hell of a bargain on them, but they wernt cheap!
giving the car a healthy power increase so decided to make it stop better and handle better first, have had a set of bilstein pss9's for it sat in my garage for a while so they are due to go on soon too! then itll be nice to give it a power hike to 450bhp, then maybe 550bhp soon after

It's 355mm front and rear discs. Front are all on and done but think I'll need a spacer for the rears. So mug better tho!
Jambo has decats x pipe back boxes, alpha n map filters, will get manifolds soon tho for 450bhp

Shame there wasn't enough time for fitting the rears. This is probably the best brake kit I've had my hands on, for weight and quality. Can't believe the standard stuff is as heavy as it is!

Are you able to get discount on this stuff? Just had a look on the StopTech site and they do a kit for my car but no prices as they don't sell direct.

not got any more recent ones, but it looks the same as that, just had a bit of paint work done and the wheels are now genuine shadow chrome.

Sweet, priced up K Sports with DS2500's for £1133 but would rather get hold of a 2nd hand set...
