Ricky Bobby will become famous soon enough
^Sport Package and Factory Running boards looks great!

Josh, I went with the Centric High Carbon Alloy coated rotors - I didn't do cross drilled or slotted - I also went with Power Stop Z16 ceramic pads from RockAuto, and the Stoptech SS line set (all from RockAuto)

ATE parts I got all from FCPEuro (slider pins, bushings, bleeder screws, front seal kits) - for the iS calipers I am not sure, but on my 3.0i calipers, the rear seal kits I could not get from ATE brand so I paid $20 per side for the Genuine BMW - I couldn't source the rear ATE kits anywhere -

Let me know when you get the job started - I will squeeze out an ounce or two of the hydraulic paste into a small baggie, and mail it out to you for your caliper reassembly - There is probably 6-7 oz in the whole tube (its like a toothpaste size), and you know how little it takes to lube up a piston, seal and bore per caliper (those small packets I usually use one per axle from the big box store) so I'll squeeze out a decent amount for you to finish the job

The tube has enough to probably do 50 brake jobs lol


Oh and btw - while you are in there, might want to look into your parking brake assembly if its original - BMW sells a "Value Line" kit which includes new shoes, adjusters, all hardware, springs, etc for like $80? Also purchased from FCPEuro, I figure when the rears are off I am going to take care of the entire rusty parking brake assembly as well

This is all on the spring to do list, once I get my car back from the body shop for all the PDR as well as the repair of the rear door rust on both sides -
