Final mod... I hope

JohnnyF10 · 05-25-2013, 01:35 PM

Well, I think I reaching then end of my mod list for this car.

The last mod, hopefully next week will be an upgrade on my brake systems.

The 528i do not use very big brakes and I can fell the difference between running 18 to 19 inch wheels and now, the rotational mass of my new 20s are giving the stock caliper a run for their money.

So not only for looks but for a firmer and better braking, this will be my next mod. Hopefully I will be able to match the color of the new caliper to my OEM rear ones, if not, I will paint all 4 of them Estotil Blue.

So a nice set of ST60 Stoptech calipers with 380mm rotors should do the job!

Once I am done, I guess it will be time to look for another project ;-)

But I just love this car, not looking forward to move to the next project.

Don't think there are brake packages for the rears on the F10 it seems. Sucks!

Let us know how it works out!
