brake caliper bushing kit
i am about to change my brake pads, when i came across these .......



do you guys think that this upgrade is going to be worth the 60 something dollars?

Simple upgrade gives BMW brakes a better feel and more even pad wear. The stock caliper on most BMWs uses a rubber guide pin bushing that allows the caliper to “twist” when you brake. This upgrade – a combination of precision guide pin and machined brass bushing – eliminates “twist” and allows the caliper to squeeze more evenly. You get a better feel and longer pad wear. Set of four; one set required per axle. We recommend also purchasing Stalube - Synthetic Brake Caliper Grease Part # 3301, and Anti Seize Compound Part # 2012
Part Number Description Price Qty.
CBUK Caliper Bushing Kit

I think this is a good upgrade as the caliper bushings tend to wear out on the BMWs and begin to make rattling noises as time wears on from expeirence. For the extra $60, you have nothing to lose.

Installed them on my MZ3 and
Was a little disturbed at the sketchy fit; they did work though. I never really felt the differance in braking...
