I think my installers didn't bed the pads correctly on my new stoptechs..I have these same pad deposits. I don't have any "safe" roads I can do these hard stops on from those speeds....would 55mph do the trick?

matte titanium TE's will be mounted next week once my new adapters and center caps come in

I'm not sure but don't think so.

I tried 8 hard stops from 80 to 10 on a 10% decline hill and that still wasn't enough to get rid of the vibration. Next day I went back and did 12 very hard stops from 80 to 10 almost enabling ABS each time and that finally worked.

Took her out for some AutoX fun. It was only 40* out and raining but still had a blast.

Raek · 03-21-2016, 08:57 PM

Tires mounted. Wheels on. Photos soon!

MCFilmWerks · 03-22-2016, 07:23 AM

Did coils, wheels, gt4 lip, diffuser, roof spoiler and a few small things, sits like this for now

Banzideluxe · 03-22-2016, 09:58 AM

Just added IND rear spoiler/ replaced stock spoiler. Added IND carbon fiber gills and tinted LED indicators

Ordered Vorsteiner 9313 front bumper from IND (6 - 8 week delivery) IND will paint before sending to my shop for install

Raek · 03-22-2016, 07:31 PM

Toight like a toiger.

SeattleJerez · 03-23-2016, 06:05 PM

Brought her in for ESS 625 install, ordered new rear tires (Nitto nto5, 275/35/19) and camber adjustment (taking her down to 2 degrees on stock hardware)

Did you prep anything engine wise for the ESS 625?(I.E. Rod bearings, etc.) I want to SC mine eventually and would like to know.

SeattleJerez · 03-23-2016, 09:45 PM

I didn't. My car is at 30k miles, and I'm going to send in a blackstone soon, but I think everything should be ok. My TVA's came out about 2k miles ago. I should be good for a while.

RAL9 · 03-24-2016, 12:10 AM

Scratch this: Just had the "front edge protection door" seal replaced due to a small leak in my driver side door that was entering the car and running into the driver floorboard...thanks El Nino!

The most amazing thing happened; the repair shop called to say they tested the seal again an it turns out the door simply needed an adjustment-yeah, saved $$$$. Love this car! And a shout out to Jean Decru with Clearguard in SF!

'Cane · 03-24-2016, 11:58 AM

Had a PPI done to arrange for the sale.

Raek · 03-24-2016, 12:04 PM

Dropped her off for an alignment and was floored by that beauty in the back. Also, a steady arrangement of dope cars around the shop.

yidgyi · 03-24-2016, 03:19 PM

Ordered CF hood vents to match the CF roof, front splitter, spoiler and mirror caps. Now to order rear CF splitter and M performance steering wheel then off to the shop for detailing.

Anyone have "AutoCarbon Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser" on their M3? PM me pics please!

Still deciding over a couple.

Petlizard · 03-27-2016, 01:04 PM
