wanted big breaks for m5 - Wirral-Wikiwirral

trying to fing best big break kit for m5, up to 54 plate

could try Reland, they sell 8pot kits. if not for the M5 they can get the conversion brackets made.

or you could try this place

Unless you planning on doing some serious track work - the std M5 setup is easily up to the job

If your struggling with fade, get some decent pads and fluid

its just standard, pads and discs just wanted something that looks a bit better. and still work aswell if not better

you could even go for a big BRAKE conversion rather than just breaking your car...

yup, get it std jim, no need to uprate them, have you got an m5 now

its a 540 v8 but with the full m teck extras so not a actual m5, nice though it was payment for a job i did customer had no money after finishing and didnt say, then offered car. so now i am back in modding mode lol but the only thing i think i can do is the breaks

hmmm, is it tidy conditiion, any pics

yeah its spotless, will get some pics up, its silver with black leather, tv sat nav and dvd player head rest tvs, got every extra with teh m tech pack. just teh fuel is a killer lol specially in sport mode carnt help yourself, just wish i could control it with the traction control off, not used to rear wheel lol

LPG is your friend, could well save you a small fortune and pay for itself in no time at all if you plan on keeping it, given the price of fuel atm.

Get some Ferodo fast road pads and stick a caliper cover over the std ones to look like 4 pots or something

...you gonna find it very hard to cook the std brakes on the roads lol

i run ferodo ds 2500...due to size n weight of my shed...and they work fkin well..still havent been able to cook them...and thier on standard discs...allbeit 330mm standard discs

the only next step up pad wise is to ds 3000 which are touring car spec and they squeal like fk and last about 500 miles...nt a good choice for a road car

ferodos are the mutts nutz...wouldnt run anything else...

Im running the 3000s on the race car.

Not had any squeeling issues (Even on the roads), bit they do take a couple of stops to get some heat in to them before they start working at 100%

So far Ive done 3 races and 3 practises on them - id say they show 1/4-1/3 wear on the pads.

....they also chew disks

so........ When I spoke to you the other day and you told me you bought it from Car zone, was that the truth or did you win it of a none paying customer ?
