Brake caliper bushings

[prowlerflyer]

Anyone have any experience with Turner's brass caliper bushing set?

Seems like a great idea, I don't know why you would want to allow flexing of the brake caliper set-up, other than to reduce NVH.

I am guessing brake feel would be substantially better, with just a little more vibration through the pedal.

Also there is just one wear sensor per axle, correct?

No input on the bushings, although I was just looking at them last night.... And you are correct regarding the wear sensors. LF and RR.

Definitely an interesting product. I've never seen them before. You thinking about picking up a set?

And yes, one wear sensor up front, one out back

Yea, was ordering stuff to do the brakes and became intrigued. Wonder if they are a press fit.
Seems like with fresh pads/rotors, braided lines, and these, you would have some pretty nice brakes.

sounds like a good solution to firmer brake feel Steve. I am also looking to rebuild my brake calipers for the ///M....I might get this kit as well

Keep us posted if you order them. Looks like a low cost way to improve the brake feel.

On a side note, I just saw Turner is giving away a motorsport calendar free w/ any purchase. I may do some browsing around

Ordered them this afternoon, won't have them until Monday. So, I can't do the brakes until next weekend. Now comes the wait.

I also have a steering Guido to do...

I've run the BimmerWorld version for around 2 years. (They might be the same as the Turner version.) The one drawback is you must clean and regrease them periodically, at least once per year, at most every 3 months (or whenever you change brake pads). I think frequency of greasing depends on how much you drive, how often you get the brakes really hot, and how much driving you do in the rain.

No hydraulic pressing is needed to install. For me, removing the stock rubber bushings was the hardest part. You do need some circlip pliers to install.

Like Mr. Costco said, regrease is the only con of this setup. Since I swap my brakes pads every track day, it's almost a no brainer for me to install on the rear. I need to get these

Hmm, the periodic greasing is kind of a hassle for me. I drive very little (~5K miles/year) but I don't want to have to deal with this. I'm getting ready to do my brakes, and honestly, I'll do everything here soon and hopefully I'll never have to do brakes again... (I drive very easy, mostly around town/low speed stuff).

Although, interested in your review Steve... If they're that awesome, I might go for them as well...
