Charlie's ///M Project Thread

Charlie I did that when I was doing the brakes on my wife's 4Runner. Makes you feel real stupid.

As they say Gary...shit happens. Fortunately I have a spare set of rebuilt M3 calipers sitting on my shelf in the garage I was able to use so it's all good. At least there's no down time with my M3

I can rebuild this caliper at a later date

Got even more stance with my ARC8's and best part??? There's absolutely no rubbing even on the damned WWII battlezone road I live on!! Car feels absolutely perfect and I really love having these Performance Cross-Drilled rotors on They really look good behind these wheels!
