Dont get me wrong!

I think they are the bolloks, and tbh guys, if i had the money Id have them without a doubt, but given that i do drive similiar to an old man during the day, Id see no need for 4 pots;

however at night, when there is no else to injure, then i do give it the beans, at which point i do wish at times i had 4 pots!

I jsut think they look amazing under the BBS, but well we all need miney! Lets all rob a bank!

i agree howard!

Im coming to yorkshire, i hope you have locking nuts on your front wheels, lol. otherwise your superb brake setup is gone.......whaahah :mad:

Having just moved house, im in between diy and car care, i prefer the latter, but well the mother always wins at my house!

I envy your brakes!

What pads do you have, and i assume they are 285mm discs

How much do the pads costs?

How do you know whatp ads to get, naturally 4 pot calipers have different pad arrangment, if i go to BMW they give me what i need, but how do YOU know what to get........?

Just something ive always wondered

Pads worked out about 30/35 quid i think, and come with the calipers. i've still the box so i'll just get the same as next time.
