My understanding is that CBC and EBD are part of the ABS system. Happy to be proven wrong -- it's possible that the DSC computer tells the ABS computer to disengage those "enhancements" when DSC is turned off, but I've never seen anything in the BMW documentation indicating that's the case.

Pretty sure they need to be worn down pretty close to the backing plate for them to accept them. But either way that's an awesome way to keep consumable costs down while getting to run a true race pad. |

Going further down the rabbit hole with SPL front arms + sway bar endlinks. Removing dinan FSB and replacing with a brand new stock one since going from 550/800 to 700/1000, I feel like front end isn't as easy to manage

Hello guys,
I have just got Bosch brake pads for my E92 M3 as preparation for a track day (OEM needs to be replaced anyway) but after I received them, a friend of mine said they are not really good and may damage the discs and may cause vibration due to his experience with aftermarket pads (Textar) I have searched the forums for feedback, found many positive feedback on Akebono and others but nothing on Bosch, any of you tried them? shall I install them or replace them with OEM for peace of mine? Thanks |

When your speeds pick up, none of the brands you mentioned make a pad that's a consensus track day pad, that I'm aware of. Ferodo, PFC, Pagid, Hawk, Porterfield makes track pads in oem shape. Start there. |

The Bosch pads are just a basic street pad, they're equivalent to the OEM Textar pads. They'll be fine for your first track day, just mind the pedal feel and check consumption throughout the day. You might get some streaking on the rotors from heat but that can be wiped clean through a quick re-bedding procedure.

You're going to love the 700/1000 springs!

Why not use those front knuckles that help correct geometry?

I have 728/1120 springs ready to go, but I'm gonna try 628/1120 first to see what it's like (Stock sways). Could be fun. Been running 628/900.

I currently have 560/1120 with an eibach front sway and that works really well. I think you're right in the ballpark with the new rates.

Glad we're all talking spring rates. May car is at 515/800 and the front its wayy under sprung. Car has a lot of front roll and nose-dives a lot more than I'd like to see under braking. Bandaided with a big front bar but the car definitely still needs some more tweaks. Looking at moving up to 571 or 628 and seeing how that goes and then maybe messing with the rear, but I don't think the rear is the problem yet and no aero here. I have some 678 for the front too I could test but think I'll need to go up in the rear for those.

I try...
Thought about it, but there's a few reasons why I went with the SPL parts to start: - Less proven, I just like to see people successfully run parts before jumping on. The SPL parts seem like they've been used by many with success. I also saw the uprights have a manufacturing delay, so it's just not ready for what I want to do. - Different parts: I'm seeing them as somewhat complementary parts. I wanted to replace the front arms on my car since they're likely worn out, and I had a rough impact on one side of the car. - Locking down alignment: I've also been noticing my alignment get knocked out of place after jacking up the car, then having it magically knock back into correct alignment after going over a bump. I think something is slipping. In marketing copy, I see some sites say the SPL parts can hold an alignment better. I'll have to find out. Thanks! Have run them already at 2 track days and I'm surprised I'm not feeling significant harshness over what 550/800 was. I had a solid rear subframe mount + poly diff/trans mounts installed at the same time, so it's hard to isolate what parts made the biggest changes. |

I've been trying to put some data together on my own setup to run some calculations and whatnot, but with work and life in the way I might just find it easier to do some of my own on-track testing on a few different setups over the next few weeks and go from there. Good news is it looks like I'll have the car out nearly every weekend in November so there will be plenty of data to be had.
