XSeries-forum

with my mot fast approaching and my x5 suffering from brake judder time to fit new discs and pads picked up some mtec discs and pads at a good price , when they arrived it was then i found out that my car falls right on the change over period for front brakes being fitted with the smaller 332mm not the larger 356mm i had brought so i opted to change the calipers aswell to upgrade to the bigger brakes , heres a pic showing my old and new discs and a before and after not sure why its flipped the last two pics need to paint my calipers but cant decide on a colour , the only thing i did find surprising was my old pad that had the wear sensor on it was the most worn pad down to less than 3mm but the sensor was untouched , so how low do the pads need to be before the warning comes on my guess is almost metal to metal

A good and worthwhile improvement and Id suggest performance blue like the newer Bmw's have the calipers painted would look nice

Nice upgrade and post.
How was the brake judder post fitment?

Caliper Colour.
Racing Red of course.
Brembo Red
How could you not

no more brake judder , i also have the matching discs and pads for the rear but will put these on once its moted , as for blue and red not sure thats for me heres a pic of the calipers i have on my other car

Eco Green or maybe a Ford.
Porsche put them on their Hybrid cars
not on a V8 X5, You need anti Green.

Tasty slots. I like those.

they are on a V8 not a X5 but my V8 toyota soarer i do like the bright colours i have considered yellow , purple maybe bronze
