Just ordered something from Dave @ Zeckhausen

Ordered yesterday at about 2pm and parts will be delivered today. So, I'll have something to do tonight.

Talked to Dave before placing the order and he clearly explained the confusion I had. The coupon code I got didn't work and he quickly created a temporary one for me. Friendly service and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend him.

I ordered axxis pads and stoptech slotted rotors.

Yeah, they're pretty good...i got axxis pads and brake sensors from them before. Very good customer service and great follow up.

Good ol' Dave!

He is extremely knowledgeable!

Dave and the great folks at Zeckhausen are certainly top shelf. Glad to hear he took good care of you!

I bought my rotors a while back from him as well. Centric plain for the X and StopTech slotted for the e36. Got the parts mega quick. No complaints.

Good choice with the StopTechs and Axxis pads.

I tried to install the parts on Fri. but couldn't finish it because my freaking spacer is stuck on the stock rotor!! PB blast and BFH made one spacer off eventually but another side is still stuck on hard. It just woudn't budge. darn, I thought H&R spacers are good and they will not rust. I'll stop by homedepot today to pick up a torch and try it again.

Any suggestion? I think the title should be changed to how to remove the stuck wheel spacer now.

Maybe try a puller - loaner tool from your local parts retailer.

okay. got the stuck spacer off with a torch last night. test drive it and feel great. now need to find sometime at late night to bring car on highway to perform bed-in process.

just a tip to members who are also using wheel spacer. you might want to grease the spacer and hub contact point because when "rusty" gets in there, it's a pain in the a$$ to get the spacer off. if it happens already, torch and a BFH will be your friends.
