You're leaving the stock brakes but changing the pads? Any thoughts on a new brake system? I know the Z4M's is probably pretty substantial to begin with.
I have some stuff I'm working on two but one of my jack stands busted today (great week for me breaking things).
How is the deconstruction of the G going? All done?

Mine *looked* like they were part of the vinyl.
They are a thin vinyl label heat fused in place, *not* a sticky label.
It took HIGH heat from the hair dryer to release the label.
I'll have a look at yours some day & see if they're similar.
The Z4M's brakes are from the CSL...
so yeah, no need to change them.
- those pads are low dust street pads,
I'll also pick up a set better suited for track use.

Happy modding....

My thoughts as well.
PS2 are one of the lightest available.

We'll see, I'll probably end up with PS2's no matter what I say.

But with US prices... there's very little difference between the two.
Up here it's huge... Michelin is really screwing us.
Almost $1000 difference on my 19s

I dont know about toronto, but if you ask the local shops to price match, they usually do it, saves lots on shipping from tirerack.
btw Im in Rochester, so it's not that far from you..you guys want to meet up sometime? G or M meet or both. :P
Or when I schedule for the GTAindetail for my M in spring.
