What I would like tested is the run out on the rotors and separately the rotor hats to see what is out of spec. If it's just the rotor hat which got damaged somehow and the rotor is fine, that's a much cheaper replacement. Or it could be something with the hardware mounting the rotor to the hat. If it's the rotor itself that has uneven wear, that could maybe be fixed with resurfacing. A "rebuild" service I need would review all of that and fix whatever is necessary.

I strongly suspect that the new parent company of Centric/Stoptech is trying to cut costs and we're starting to see the results of that. Unfortunately.

Which pad shape were you using with the ST60? Looking to try the AP6 as the default option of the AP5 shape would scratch up the rotor hats.

Prices are going up. It was only 18 when I ordered it.

Installed a remote power/start/stop recording switch for my GoPro that's in reach while harnessed in.
Single press turns it on and starts recording. Second press stops recording and powers it off. No more fussing in grid or trying to start it at the last possible second to avoid heat issues. For me this is superior to a Bluetooth remote, voice control, or phone app. Solution was provided by Wired Remote dotcom

I have been researching more advanced scanners, like the nice bidirectional Autel unit (around $1k) because I'm sick of not having enough info. Can someone tell me if that's a waste of money and there's a better option? |

I'm not worried about going back to stock. We're past that now.

That radiator support is designed to deter DIY maintenance and get more shop hours for the service guys at the BMW dealers, I'm convinced. It's perfectly designed to make hamburger out of forearms

My intercooler prevented me from removing the fan, so I had to replace the PS pump with the fan in. Absolutely sliced my arms to ribbons. (I have since modified the intercooler mounting so it's easily removable, best use of an entire weekend of all time on my car, even though I didn't actually repair anything)
