Hi Guys
I've got a remapped 09 123d msport with suspension upgrades that i track a few times a year. Covid-19 dependent I'm going to be making a trip to the to the ring this year and feel its time for a brake upgrade as i need new pads and discs anyway. I tend to destroy pads on track days no matter what pad i put in and don't fancy the idea of losing brakes on the ring, the stopping power is also poor as the ABS never kicks in. I've gone through a lot of pads and discs since I've had the car and always had the same problem so i think a caliper upgrade is the next step.
I've looked through the forum and the general rule seems to be M135i front calipers and 135i rear calipers but I'm unclear on if i need spacers as well?
Looking through ebay i was shocked at the cost these still are, from what i can see its about £400 for fronts and the same again for rear? Is this the normal price that others have found before? If the price higher than normal at the moment i don't mind waiting a few months till this is all over.
Because of the cost i am considering only upgrading the fronts but I'm not sure if this will put too much brake bias towards the front?
Cheers
