nice nice nice nice.

the e60 is now where near as nice looking as the E39.

EVO mag also prefer the E39.

an E39 with the E60 engine may be fun, but would likely upset the handling.

want

one.

You will..... and the best answer is either AP's or the American Stoptech.

Short term measure is a decent set of pads......but the brakes are criticised alot on the various web sites.

Jay - of you'd have said the car was with Verdi I'd have told you not to even bother wasting time going to see it as I knew what it'd be like. He doesn't sell or deal in anything other than top notch.

just had a quick look(now ive ordered the 2500's!)
ap brake kit Ł2100!
adjustable suspension kit Ł1300

still i suppose if thats all i have to shell out for a real good track car,its not so bad compared to what you would have to spend getting a cossie to 400 bhp and then get it to stop/handle...

Are you fitting the Bilstein Kit (PS9).....I'm looking at a suspension upgrade, but I'm over in the USA for the next two months, so might see If I can get it cheaper over there. Along with a set of Stop-Tech Brakes (They're VERY similar to the AP's and I would normally have gone for AP, but the Stop-Tech are rated very highly and I'm hoping I can get a set while I'm over here.
