The front is a complete F8X assembly which is a hub/spindle combination. Each kit includes upgraded hardware that is stronger than the factory BMW units. The rears are not just the hub spindle, but also include the bearing. In addition to this, new hub bolt hardware is included. As an extra touch (to safeguard against the common E9X rusty hub issue) each kit is uniformly moly-coated and the appropriate Loctite is included.
The drill bit is optional—we didn't want to penalize anyone who had Brembo brakes to have to pay for a bit they didn't need, but we have the appropriately sized bit for non-Brembo and OE brake applications for no guesswork.
We took time to compile a complete kit for people who were interested in both mod and maintenance all at the same time. No guesswork and no enormous markup...just factoring in the time it takes to apply durable coating and assembling the kit for the BMW community. We also made note that there was a P/N changeover during the F8X lifecycle for front hubs, so all the hubs we use for our kits are the LCI variant.
You're able to also option the base kit with either a stud conversion of your choice or OE length M14x1.25 lug bolts—just another nod to trying to create as complete of a solution as possible for a wide variety of users.
