CSL brake upgraded

[Calvin Tan]

CSL brake disc rotor diameter 345mm x 28mmStock M3 disc rotor diameter 325mm x 28mmYou might be asking why don't I go for the Brembo, AP or any others after market big brake kit. Yes, they do look nicer and bigger than CSL brakes.But at my point of view, CSL brake replacement parts are much easier to obtain than after market. And you will not have any problem like parts shortage, discontinued or limited supply in the future. Some even need special order. And of course CSL brakes replacement parts are more affordable. k:

KennyG,
there are too many brands to compare price. But still M3 CSL is cheaper and easier to get.

TJ,
Yes, I'm selling them. But can they fit? I'm so doubt on the wheel PCD and offset.

pussy,
If you want TJ's brakes, you must racun him "kow kow" for my brakes

What's the point of upgrading to csl brakes when it doesn't eliminate the juddering problem (bmw known defect on E46 M3 & E39 M5)?

I simply cant justify spending so much money for another 20mm and still dont solve the juddering problem.

PLUS all the parts in the picture are the same as M3, only the disc is different...

Have you tested it yourself??? I guess not... :getyourfactsright:

The vibrations are getting from bad to worse. BMW did something wrong there. I did enough research on the net not to upgrade to csl.
