I was sent 10 mm spacers, which I will install this spring before my next HPDE track day.

Despite me aggravation at the damage caused by the optimistic fitment using the recommended 5mm spacers, the brakes are a significant improvement over stock M3 brakes. Temperatures were reduced by at least 100 deg F (I think it was closer to 150F, but been a while). Longevity of the pads should be greatly increased. They also look great!


Did you use a pyrometer or the brake disc paint?

PS, post a photo!
