Solid caliper guides

I’m thinking about putting bimmerworls solid brass caliper guides on my track prepped e92 m3. I was just wondering if anyone could tune in on the results of them and if they made a noticeable change or not.
Cheers!

Anyone that says they notice a difference is a sucker or a liar. The pins take up almost no load in the braking system. The main purpose is they won't melt like the stock rubber bushings might and may help the caliper stay slightly more normal to the rotor so the pads don't wear unevenly.

As long as you keep them clean there is no down side. I file them under "good idea" on a track build with OEM brakes.
