Buy the sensors at rockauto. Way way cheaper. It can sometimes take driving for over a half hour for the computer to automatically start detecting the new sensors

I started a lengthy thread about this. Euro is wrong & not approved. Most dealers are idiots.

I drive my 5 all the time in track alignment. The added wear to the insides on the street help balances the added wear to the outsides on track. I drove my car & my dads back to back on track & the alignment def makes a noticeable difference in handling. I’ve not felt any difference in ride.

Big mistake not driving it the way the engineers & god intended. Get a garmin catalyst & get that thing on track to embarrass the mustang & Porsche guys asap

He’s stated many times why. You can use the search button if you really want to know. “Everybody” is a pretty broad term and LT motor components are a lot cheaper vs what was used, but there were several reasons it was not. I also don’t get the pricing miscue comment. Even with a rebate the...

There’s really no need to trailer these cars. You can just drive them there air down the tires and go. Then just sit them back up for the trip home. This is essentially what they’re designed to do. Drive all week with the car seat in the back then drive it to the track & blow the doors off...

Buy the carbon ceramics if you’re not going to track. The rotors will last the life of the car. If you buy the track version of a car expect to get track components.

Bad idea as you’ll have a different compound burnished on the rotors that may be incompatible with the other brakes. Carbotech makes pads that are all compatible to fix this problem (meaning you can switch from low dust street to track pads & back bc they’re all compatible compounds without...

OEM m2 brakes are garbage. Every single person I know that tracks theirs tosses them as they overheat easily and come apart in chunks. They literally fall apart. I guarantee I could toast them in under 300 miles. The OEM brakes on the bw aren’t even in the same universe. It’s laughable how much...

If u think Cadillac brakes are expensive don’t try any German cars. The cost at dealer to replace brakes on a RS6 is over 14k. Those are the steels too not even ccb. The more aggressive the pad the faster it’s going to wear. 40k is pretty good for a performance car. The rotors on the BW are very...

the rotors are a different size

that's the pricing on the 5. just wait until they come in stock again and buy a set to have around for when you need. same with tires. michelin makes a run of them every once in awhile and its better to have a spare set sitting there in case you need them and can't wait weeks or months for them...

lol wut. how exactly does it become longer wearing somehow just by there not being an aluminum hub

Rock auto when they have parts in stock are by far the cheapest for the oems. Front pads were $338 and rears $223. Rotors were $373 each for the fronts and $170 each for the backs last time I ordered from them. Summit racing is not as low, but usually competitive especially if you have a 10% off...

event before your accident at heartland there was a turtle slowly making his way across the track for 2 sessions right where you come over alpha

That is hilariously overpriced

Yea they use the new strand tech, but brembo reps told savage geese about their simulated testing and the cost per track day for just rotors would be very high based on their quoted life expectancy. I wouldn’t swap the CCB for steel as the programming for magride suspension is different to...

One and done just for the rotors, not pads, and if you’re ONLY street driving. Life expectancy of rotors when tracking are very similar to the steels, but significantly more expensive. Their main advantage when tracking is unsprung weight, but it comes with a massive cost. If you track often you...

GM charges a core for lots of stuff. Front splitters, wheels, you’d be surprised.

The owners manual actually says do it AFTER the first track day.
