Has anybody ever done an upgrade to a Brembo braking system? They're a well respected name in high performance and racing brake systems, and they have a caliper and rotor kit for the E39 M5. I'd be interested in finding out how these performed WRT the stock system as well as what potential problems this could introduce (if any). -Doug --- from www.brembo.com ---- Front system with two-piece 355 X 32m cross-drilled vented discs with anti-corrosive cadmium plating. Mounts "floating" style to vehicle specific billet aluminum bell. Brembo engineered and machined two-piece cast aluminum caliper fitted with four sequentially sized aluminum pistons, dusts seals and anti-rattle clip. Also included, complete axel set of high performance pads and DOT/TÜ approved stainless steel brake lines. Aircraft quality mounting brackets and hardware complete this system. All our high performance brake systems are ABS compatible and retain the stock master cylinder.
