Whistle And sooo.. Brakes 2.0
This is from the *other* end (front) of my brakes project. These should be on by the weekend. We'll do some custom fabrication for caliper mounts and then my 'old' StopTech kit- front *and* rear- will be up for sale.

This front set up is 6 caliper. The current one is 4 caliper. The old one is made specifically for the X5. I'm twisting this kit around bc I wanty the big calipers.

The rear setup is the same as the current one. I got a pretty good deal on the kits so I thought I'd put some new stuff on my car and sell my old stuff to someone who wants nifty brakes.

Prop - Could have gone 8 piston from another make......

Just kurious based on the pic.
Maybe it's the angle I'm looking at.
Is the logo a decal under the PC clear.
Or is it embossed into the metal

I could have gone 8 piston, yes, but not for the deal I got on these. I was happy to pay up a little for the upgrade, but the Brembo's are a couple grand more than I will sell the current setup for.

The logo is embossed into the metal. The other logo's are a decal under clear. This was a logo that did not make it for StopTech so they let them go on the cheap.

Very nice! Are you making custom adapters then or is that some secret sauce.
