You can have it... I'll get another batch real soon then.

It would be great if I'd have an idea how big that batch should be, so I can get the guy to start.

As mentioned earlier I couldn't send you a pm maybe if you send me one I may be able to reply to it ??
Mark : I am most likely going to get a price less than £735 or so ! So hold off on your order for the actual brake kit, if you want, unless you can get it cheaper of course !

The Stoptech Big Brake kit is one of the best around. They are the most solid brakes on the market. My M5 stops on a dime.

Yes but they cost 3 times more ! If I was going to get a proper BBK I would go for the Brembo 8 Pots with 380mmX34mm rotors iirc !

Well i know the caliper and rotor size is different, but My Brembo's on the STi dont bite as hard as the stoptech's on the M5.

and it's a lighter car by almost a thousand pounds. You get what you pay for, and cheaping out on breaks wouldnt be such a good idea. Not necessarily saying that Brembo's are cheap, because by all means, brembo's arent cheap... but i'm just saying.

Bite isn't the only thing of importance regarding brakes. If you put Pagid RS15 pads on your stock M5 callipers (don't know if they even exist, but I think they do), you'll get insane bite at the moment you touch the brake pedal (once the pads are warm that is...)

The choice of brake pads can change the behaviour of your brakes completely, and make good brakes look poor and vice versa.

My personal Opinion

Brembo < Stoptech


and i was saying the feel is more crazy with the stoptechs. Bite isn't the only thing that matters, logenvity, noise, dust, performance, etc.

Thanks for the offer but I'm ordering in Northern Ireland and collecting as if they get sent down or courier from the North or UK, I will get stung on VAT so it'll be cheaper in the long run.
