No brackets needed, just use two washers on each bolt to get it centered. The washer size is M12, you will need 8 washers. Make sure you use washers that won't rust! See picture. Credit to Nostra, I downloaded the picture from his post. You're probably wondering what about the F8x front calipers? Way more involved than just 8 washers. You need new bolts and the front spindle from the F8x chassis. Not a easy bolt-on. Last edited by JsL; 11-13-2019 at 12:13 AM.. |

We digress a bit, but I came across this post regarding a comparison between BBK's:

I just realized we had a lot of information in the "Sponsor's F/S Thread" that's now closed. I posted a whole list of brake pads that fit the 6P calipers with 380mm rotors. Now that list is lost...
Does anyone know the size for Pagid pads? I think there was a RSL29 pad that fits, just don't know how to find it. |

Stock e9x M3 rotor - pad size 8081. The other is use a specific car like the 2015 Camaro ZL1 front pads. I put G loc R16 on mine and they are awesome! Using F8x larger rotor - pad size 8083. I couldn’t find much of anything that is track appropriate. |

Ive had no updates from slonik since the 26th Oct (Wasnt an update more so just a reply from my whatsapp message that he'd look into my order) my paypal claim should be processed tomorrow, unfortunately I cannot see him delivering the goods after 5 months...
Seems weird he's done what he has, obviously there has been a change of circumstances for all of the silence and no communication, even though I noticed on his profile that he still logs onto the forums occasionally |

I know you're in a bad spot too and having your money back doesn't really help you either. It's a sad turn of events. My next step is going to install WhatsApp on my wife's phone and trying him then (looks like he reads messages from new numbers). My bank has issued a temp refund and is working with PayPal to get a hold of him. Hopefully with a few of us opening claims against him, will get his attention. I still would love to have my parts. I will be reporting him to the forum admins as well -- this isn't the way to do business. I am a patient and understanding individual but I have my limits. |

The buyer who bought my original calipers is upset as he wants the calipers also but I cant see him delivering them if it hasn't happened after 5 months when he promised me 3-4 weeks I don't see it happening.. |

Probably depends on interpretation. He took payment and then went on vacation and stopped communicating. I got my parts luckily but I had to be really aggressive.

I felt like I've been burned when he supplied a set of brakes that I wasnt happy with (slonik offered a solution if I was to buy a 2nd set)it took me a few months to find a buyer for them & I sold them to a guy with a 335i. I worked with the buyer that I'm reordering another set of brembos, so for my 2nd set I'll order 335i mounts. Slonik said yeah no worries 3-4 weeks. I never received them after 5 months of waiting (just never replied to my messages) so now I have to refund the buyer of my original brembos (that took 3 months to manufacture) and I'm back where I was when I bought these brakes 12 months ago in Nov 2018 in the black friday sales GB I organised. So I haven't been conned of $, just lied to, with no communication and a huge massive waste of my time Alarm bells kinda rang out when he mentioned at the 2nd round of the GB, the supplier can no longer supply brakes to him for the same price he was buying them for.. |

sounds like he is an absolutely terrible business person. the practice of being "active" on the forum and not responding to messages would really rub me the wrong way.

Looks like my bank dispute was closed in my favor; all in all I lost $100 in the process as PayPal won't return the credit I had with them due to the transaction type (again, it was a stupid in my part), but that doesn't upset me as much as the time wasted fighting this all.
I have decided to instead get an actual Brembo GT kit from a seller here on the forums for less than a few hundred dollars more than Slonik's setup would have cost me. I'll post pics as soon as I get them. I hope all involved that did not get their parts got their refund. For all those looking to purchase stuff from Slonik in the future, let this be a lesson learned at our expense and not yours. |

that sucks you lost $, like yourself its a kick in the guts having this guy take your $ then waste a lot of your time as it seems he has had no intention of delivering these other kits.
he's still actively logging in, probably to read this thread |
