Puppy.. THIS IS A FANTASTIC job you have done here
I am have a brake/steering problem with my car
Have just changed every sealing in the calibers front and rear,,
the front disk are almost NEW,, but the pads are not oem
put new pads in rear ((ATE)) . new fluid
I have also changed controlarm rubber and used from 750/M5/540
re-adjust the wheel setup ... also took care of the steering column,,
BUT the brakes are CRAP and the car is shaken on loads,,
I will soon take the disc off,, let a machinist take 0.1-0.5 mm off and buy a new S 600 W140 pads
why dont you try it with the original pads and see if it still shakes

By the way, there is a place closer to Canada and USA folk that will rebuild Girling calipers. I did contact them last year and spoke with a very knowledgeable gentleman, but I forgot how much he quoted.
If you retain the Alpina caliper, you may need to rebuild the caliper at some point. This company will rebuild the BiTurbo Lucas-Girling caliper for you. They can rebuild 'As New' and you can have them finished either in Black or yellow chromate anodised coatings. About £80.00 each plus shipping.

Based on the recommendation of my supplier, we are going to try this wear sensor after comparing the the photo of the sensor on my car with his parts inventory. I will update once I fit the part. I have attached a picture of the wear sensor mounted to a set of the brake pads to a 540i as an illustration.
also just added to the fleet is a 2002 porsche 996tt in silver full options and auto with the old tip-tronic
