[QUOTE="ron g, post: 857956, member: 13653"] i was looking through the service history of my z3 last night. last item before it came off motorplan - align seat rails: R 9,300????? when it comes to brakes use of reputable specialist parts like ferodo, ate & others is ok. use of korean / chinese brakes to save a few hundred bucks makes no sense. that saving will all be gone in the excess of the first accident you have from not being able to stop in time. & don't say you don't need good brakes because you don't drive fast. in an emergency you need all the stopping power you can get, & i have seen chinese brakes turn to powder on the first emergency application. of course this does not apply if you have cheap chinese tyres since you probably won't have enough traction to stop anyway...
