Yah, I know.
The money would be great right now, but I'm not going to rush this at all.
It's such a great mod, but I'm not in a hurry to let these go.
I think 2k is fair though.

[Mr. 5]

Based on the feedback, it looks like I'm going to keep them.
If someone wants them and the price is right, I can have them off in a weekend.

I might be interested, but have a couple of questions. How much are these new? Also, I track my car a lot and and have numerous upgrades to the engine and suspension, but am running on OEM brakes with EBC Yellowstuff pads. I am only interested if these will significantly improve the car's braking under track conditions. I am concerned that they might not given that they still use the OEM size rotors. Any info from you or others on this would be helpful.

i believe your post on comparison of OEM caliper and rotora is based on 335i sedan. caliper size of coupe is bigger up front, hence your calculation on brake pad size is sort of pointless on same rotor.

Real OEM shows same part # for sedan and coupe front calipers

As stated earlier in the thread, 2800 new if you shop around.
Tracking before and after has shown a big significance with heat disipation and constant bite!

I'm sorry but you're clueless!
Do you just grab this out if the air or something?
The coupe has the same exact size as the sedan and if you would have read the thread properly then you would have seen that. Here is post 17 again:

Also, larger brake pad = more friction on same rotor.

More proof is the rotor size.

Research and knowledge works wonders!

Yep, but you read the thread.

[murph-54]

How many miles do you have on these?

[hun77777]

OK I failed...

lol I must've thought of 335i vs 328i or something but after some research, you indeed were right. With that being said, best of luck to you Mr. 5. here comes free bump!!!

[LaYzEe]

Mr. 5, how big are these calipers compared to the stock ones?

Becuase my wheels wont fit BBK but maybe i can still squeeze in these calipers.

I have about 20k freeway miles with no traffic and 2 track events.

IMO, if your wheels will fit over the 335 brakes then your wheels will fit over these. They are longer but don't stick out towards the wheel that much more than the OEM brakes.

Here is a picture of my track wheels on the front.
There is absolutely no problem with hitting the spokes and is close to the inner diameter of the wheel, but these 17" wheels fit like a glove.

[Mr. 5]

Bump.
I actually got an offer that was reasonable.
Anyone else?

[mwahlert]

i installed my setup last weekend

[brianhn1]

Looks great! Curious what wheels do you have?

TR MT1's 18x9 and 18x8 265s out back 235's up front

wheels are about 18 pounds each IIRC

[Mr. 5]

All PMs have been answered.

[uberschnell]

One thing that is great about these calipers (and sorry if you've said this already) is how easy it is to change the pads. You can change out the pads at an event in minutes.

So true!

[Kyosho]

[Mr. 5]

I'm making this official.
These are coming off my car on Wednesday.

[Mr. 5]

I updated the inital post to make the sale official and say that these are also coming with Titanium Shims for the front pads.

[Mr. 5]

I'm not going to be able to get these off the car until next Monday now.
Once they are off the car, I'll take close up and cleaned up pictures.

[nlakind]
