Interesting choice to go with Alcon, it's not the common setup we see. Any specific reasons you chose it?

The shop I am working with had some concerns about rotor quality and even pad wear with the AP Racing kit, so we went with the Alcon kit via Bimmerworld. It's a new setup on the E90, but not a new caliper or rotor. We will see how it goes.

On my Essex AP kit, I do have one front pad that seems to wear faster than the others. I'm probably about due for a rebuild on the calipers, so I'll have Essex check it out. As far as support, Essex is excellent in that regard. Who is going to do tech support and service the Alcon stuff?

I think I'm a bit of a guinea pig with this kit but I think the risk is low. I expect Bimmerworld to provide good support. They have always been there for me previously.

Car is cleaned up and heading to fabrication for full cage with rear subframe and front strut tower ties ins. AC and heater deleted. Wiring harness being thinned out and some other weight reduction. Then to paint and re assembly.
